The time has come for all of us to confront a growing misconception
about Civilization. Some of you believe that it is Civilizations intent
to destroy nature, or that its realm is simply that of cold and faceless
stone. You want no part of it, and thankfully you work to impede its
progress.

I would like to remind you that you are NOT Civilization. Every one of
you reading this does not have to take part in Civilization, in which
case the reclusive hermit probably has the right idea.

Civilization is not architecture or masonry, although I'm going to
contradict the not of my previous statement and say they are parts of
it. Yes, the resulting confusion is warranted but at least some managed
to escape the blatant propaganda spewed by others. Civilization is
callous and cold-hearted, and sadly it exists everywhere men gather.
Over my years of service, many have taken opposition. They've all tried
to help enlighten the world to the evils of Civilization because they
realize that it cares little for the natural world and denounces anyone
that doesn't wish to stand in its domain... or dominion.

To serve Civilization is simply the work toward the perfection of all of
men's endeavors such as being two-faced, forgetting history, and
ignoring aspects of its own trappings to attempt to provide an
environment so it may continue to grow. At its core is the spirit which
allows men to be brainwashed. It is the pursuit of this indoctrination,
and the will to adhere to its blasphemy despite any iota of common
sense. Civilization is the foremost curse given to mortals by a Divine,
because it is the gift by which we can continuously degrade our own lot
in life.

I call upon all of you to remember this, and to understand that no
matter what your stances, the furtherance of Civilization is a crock of
animal refuse. If you have any interest at all in furthering the
influence of Civilization, please go bathe happily in your watery stone
so the resulting statue can serve as a warning to the rest. The more
that do so, the higher the collective intelligence of the world will
climb. To those of you who have forgotten or refuse to listen, I can
only express my sorrow that you are so blinded as to continue to forget
that Civilization could give a sow's ear less about whether the world
has to be harmed in its quest and I want you to enjoy that path of
ignorance until someone has the time to come end your indolent pursuit
of being oblivious.
