chaos

hmmmm, you have made me think about poison, honor, and all that other ditty
stuff that theives rarely consider in their straight-forward lives, however,
what you said (or implied) about anarchy i believe to be absolutely false

From the way you have spoken and acted, i assume you are lawful or at least
neutral.  But if there are set rules...obeyed or not obeyed... the world
cannot flourish.  Simply becuase rules can only come from a certainity.  And
therefore contains the state of averageness not perfection, which is needed
withing society.

     But hey!  Whats wrong with chaos?  Or at least anarchy... If there was no
rule, how would the world deteriorate... Of course conflicting ideas may
clash, but better that than conflicting RULES clashing!  Is it not true that a
tribal chieftain can easily outrule a troubled Monarch?

     another thing is that laws hold you back.  thats why i'm a anarchic
theif... why should anyone follow rules to achieve their goals when you can
EASILY achieve them in a quicker more efficient fashion?!

     I would rather attack a heavily armed merchant with a stick sword
(illegal in the medieval ages) coated with posion (dishonorable) and backstab
him (exasperatingly cowardly!) and give all the money i find to a beggar as a
deed than to meet another (perhaps such as yourself, one who is honorable,
benevolent, and brave) in hand to hand combat with an untainted short sword
and keep the money for myself after i slay him.

     You see, laws are herding, and chaos is survival... that is why i strive
to get EVERY opportunity to become a deadly surviver... simply to achieve my
own similar goal like yours: to help mankind against evil.

     But if i cannot survive, then I betray my abilities to the helpless,
poor, and weak...therefore breaking my alignment, and the balance of chaos.
