Remember: what they fear is your potential. Small and petty people, insecure people, cannot abide the notion of things shifting from the order they have assigned to the cosmos. When you raised your head - when you began to question, to speak, to disagree - it was as if the very planets had shifted in their orbit. You disrupted their music of the spheres.

There is, however, no need to feel guilt. That any one person should be so arrogant as to believe that they alone have the authority to define what others' lives may and may not be is absurd, but believe it they do. You crack the foundations of their precious temple altars to infinite monotony and the notion that every one person has a set role, a designated niche, that they may not move from.

The universe is no stagnant thing.
