You think my apology means I'm weak. But it doesn't. It means I am trying to learn how to be strong. — Orson Scott Card

Nafai knew the rule: when a man acts like a child, he's boyish, and everyone's delighted; when a boy acts the same way, he's childish, and everyone tells him to be a man.

Wouldn't it have been better to change humanity so it no longer desired to destroy itself?
