Here to Raze Hell

So, my boy Yosha is an entertainer. He and his siblings are a group of traveling musicians, and he first learned to use a sword and shield to protect his siblings. He landed on the Oath of Glory, which fits the group well. He didn't initially swear his oath to any particular deity but he eventually landed on a god of joy and mischief (small, homebrew pantheon) who was kind of the only god he knew anything about at the time. But recently he's learned that this god is not just a god of joy, but also a god of hope. And he has grown so much into holding that high through every action. After all, sometimes things get dire, and the dark times get in the way of hope and joy - and someone's going to have to step up to clear the way for it. It feels a little odd to say this, seeing as he is a character I made up and play, but I feel proud of him.

Just wanted to share this. I hope you have a good day, Paladin.

Hmm. In terms of tangible actions and behaviors, I’m not as organized or disciplined as I’d like to be. I have a devil of a time wrestling my own inclination to procrastinate into compliance. Much better than I used to be is not the same as solving the problem.

In my own head, I wish I could better endure the world’s woes, but I sometimes close my self off from it to better manage my own life. The trick is knowing when I’m actually doing this to protect myself and doing it for the sake of ease. The extra effort to swallow hard truths or even just listening for a moment is a critical component in deciding what the righteous path is, after all. Ignorance is comfort, wisdom requires burden.
