The Way of the Free

There is nothing we have been given that we were not meant to use. We are born with legs to walk, mouths to speak, arms to take, emotions to follow, and desires to pursue. We are blessed not only with what we are born with, but with what the world has waiting for us - for indeed, this entire world is one of opportunities.

Each individual life is following a unique pilgrimage, and the destination is your own to decide. To reach the end of your journey, a man must absolve themselves of each of their desires - and the only way to truly discard a desire is to attain it. The end is Enlightenment.

There are only two teachings of the Way of the Free - Walk, in pursuit of your desires; and Help, others in pursuit of their desires.

The Free gather rarely, but when they do, they construct temporary outposts. These Walking Churches disappear before nightfall, splintering into many individuals who will plant the seeds of their own Walking Churches the next day.

Proselytizing is frowned upon - it is the individual's choice to follow the Way of the Free, and to thrust upon another a choice is no different than to deny them a choice.

There are only two sins of the Way of the Free - Sloth, refusing your own desires; and Hindrance, the denial of other's desires.

These are the Way of the Opposition, the abstract force that stands in the path between all men and their individual Enlightenments. Laws and rules and borders and kings are but vessels of the Opposition - those things that seek to complicate your journey, or even end it.

This is why angels are blessed with wings - they are the ultimate symbol of freedom. And this is why demons only work by contract and oath - for as the closest companions of the Opposition, they must live by rules and regulations at all times.

That is the Way of the Free.
