It has been an age old trap to want our children to have it easier than we did. That desire is a corruption of the want for our children to have it better than we did. But easy is not better, and evil never sleeps nor dies till the ending of the world.

A better world and an easier one will both be filled with monsters… But in an easier world, the monsters will be ourselves.

There’s a darkness in the human heart that’s only held in check by pain and suffering and hardship. It is the struggle that makes us strong and in those battles we make ourselves better. And as residents of this world, we make our world better for our children to inherit.

We don’t slay monsters, so our children won’t have to… We slay monsters so our children know how to.

Should we not show them how, then the future will be lost for them. They will become weak and subject to the beasts who have made themselves strong. And in time they will become beasts themselves preying upon the weak yet by more secretive means.

Weakness is a quality which breads more weakness and creates a craven creature craving comfort and incapable of answering the call to defend the helpless…even when the helpless is the self.

Every age will have evil in it. And in every age we will be tasked to battle beasts, dragons, and all manner of monsters. The only way to know how is to be shown by those who were victorious before us.
