There are some who are good at it. I was not. I didn't understand I was struggling against something bigger than myself. I was arrogant.

... I just could not stand there and do nothing, but in the end I felt like I made everything worse.

They called me a god of misfortune after that, and I can't blame them. If blaming me made them feel better, it was deserved. But it's such a wretched feeling, when you're doing your hardest, you're trying your best, and your best is not even close to being good enough.

I don't really understand how the people here seem to revel in those curses they have all around, but there comes a moment where it's better the evil you know than the illusion of something better than might never come.

That business with the foxes is still not right, though. They need to stop that.
