True Fear

"There are three things that all wise men fear: the sea in a storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man." -Patrick Rothfuss, A Wise Mans Fear

I sit and i picture each of those as a painting in my mind.

A sea in a storm, why is that a wise mans fear? It means we all fear to be lost in a world full of meaningless words and wasted paper, and then to be torn by the shallowest depths of the mind.

A night with no moon? Loneliness of the blackest kind, sitting on a lifeless hilltop staring at undeveloped canvas with no way to light it up. No way to reveal its dimensionless beauty.

Why the anger of a gentle man? It speaks of disappointment and failure, why would you push his patience? The wrath of one trying to teach to a drunken society, trying to teach the diamond wall of humanity.

When you fight progress and knowledge always remember to fear the wrath of a gentle man.

For diamond doesn't just break, it shatters, and the shards can pierce your soul.
