If I can sing, I must be able to dance.

If I can dance, I must be able to fight.

If I can fight, I must be able to think critically.

If I can think critically, I must not believe in your gods.

If I don’t believe in your gods, I must hold myself accountable for all things, good or bad, in my life.

Do you think that gods hold themselves accountable?

Suddenly, I feel empathy for them.

What I, too, do best is nothing in particular.

Who here would like to see me attempt to contemplate doing a thing?
