Mothers Heart

 

Apologia for Adria the Witch, who sacrifized her daughter Leah, to be the avatar of Diablo; to address the futility of Kindness.

I know, I know – Diablo 2 best game ever, Diablo 3 can't hold its sandals and wash its feet, while worshipping the dirt it stands. Still I have played more Diablo3 than 2 due to my lack of motor skills and massive lag from various meditations and prayer/magical sessions. Also I love the way, how Blizzards, just as J.K. Rowling with the hoarcrux in Harry Potter could hit the nail. I am talking about the relationship or lack there off between Adria the mother and Leah, the daughter. In its twisted manner it highlighted my own relationship with my father, who never acknowledged me, and who only showed at the court, then alimony was discussed, for being compelled by law, but otherwise didn't even show at my graduation, to be happy, then he didn't finish school like that. It broke my heart, so I felt the betrayal on a personal level, then the scene came, there Adria revealed who Leah's real father was: The corrupted former prince Aidan, who hosted Diablo, so daddy could possess daughter! I mean, that scenario is so many layers of twisted, evil and wrong, making even the “NO” of Luke Skywalker or Anakin Skywalker pale in comparison. The cartoony setting of the game, in contrast of the prior dark theme, made it even worse. If Blizzard had taken a step back and made an entirely new game on that topic, where a mother sacrifices her daughter in a cult, without disgruntling the fans of Diablo, it would have been even more wicked, but you cant have everything.

Why is Kindness so bad in my mind? What does Kindness stand for in everyday life? What does it mean to be Kind-hearted? In Ecc 7:16-18 it is said: “Don't try to be too good or too bad; don't be too wise or too foolish. Why should you die before your time? Try to be a little of this and a little of that. Even Yahveh's followers do sometimes good and evil.” Also see the Rehepapp culture in Estonia which could be summed up of Jack of all trades, master of nothing. Also Kaval-Ants, the dark side of that culture. How did Kindness look in the olden days? For instance, the normal tithe was 10% but Jacob promised 20% because he saw the stairway to Heaven, while he was running from his brother, who's birthright he had just stolen. Like running from a lion to see a bear open his warm embrace in front of you. That was the reason, he was so Kind!! He knew, he was worthy of death, so He pleaded with his everything to live another day. The same was with the tax collector in the New Testament, who found Mercy in Lord Jesus Christ's eyes and pledged things, what could only be upheld if his dirty money didn't exceed 12% of all his funds. That's a lot of fiscal honesty from a Jew. But then people of nowadays offer Kindness. What does it cost you...

Its nice to give in your splendour, something you would have thrown away anyhow; but its something else if a widow gives her last 2 cents for offering. Adria gave her only begotten daughter, much like Yahveh gave Jesus on the Cross or like Odin sought after the runes and poetry. It was the nonconformist approach – or how Jaime Lannister fucked his sister and tossed a kid out of the window, to hide it – there you don't care, what the others might think, because your gaze is not outwardly but inwardly. We use Kindness to substitute for the lack of character. Because we want to believe something. Leah didn't doubt for a second all the lies she had to eat, then Adria came back to her life. Its textbook narcissist gaslight at its finest. It had nothing to do in the Diablo franchize, because the game was about something else, but I digress. We want to be Kind and Respectful to others, because we can't live in a world, there we have to accept, that our lovedones could turn against us. Because then we would have to exercise more strength and resolve, what we might even believe to have. Because its a world shattering experience, if things don't go, as they socially should. And that's why Kindness is Evil. It assumes, there will always be a civil society to catch you – or “God is not a cheater”, as Rene Descartes would presume. Whenever there's an opportune moment, people cheat, like the story of Cain and Abel showed. You can't expect people to be any more nice, than a lion not to eat you, while you're praying to Baby Jesus, that he would be Christian this time. He can snuff a food prayer and eat you anyway. Its not a problem at all.

Adria is the personification of a Mother and Priestess, if you will, who focust her all to her goal of serving Diablo, to vanquish all the other prime-evils and making them subservient to the Black Soulstone and Diablo becoming Legion. Even Machiavelli couldn't have done it better. Kindness, just as Pity are treats worthy of the gods, then you know the full picture. What business has a feeble mortal with it. You could be literally Kind to Adolf Hitler or Jossif Stalin. Can you live with it, little Christian, who you read this? Otherwise Jesus wouldn't have said: “You have heard, thus said to the ancients: 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth!' but I tell you, not to resist to an evil person, if someone slaps you on the right cheek turn under him another; if someone sues you for the tunic, give him your cloak as well. For the one, who forces you to go one mile, give another, give to whom asks you, and don't turn, who wants to borrow! You have heard, it was said to the ancients: 'Love your neighbour' or 'Hate your Fiend'! But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those, who persecute you, that you may be the Sons of your Father in Heaven. He causes the sun to rise and the rain to fall even unto the wicked as to the righteous. If you love those, who love you, what difference do you make? Do not even tax collectors do the same? And if your greeting your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Didn't even Gentiles do the same? – You be Perfect, as your Heavenly Father is Perfect.” Mat5:38-47

Why would I add the turn the other cheek into loving your enemies? Because we don't know the Jewish culture anymore!! The reason why it was distinguished between left and right cheek, was this. The Right cheek represented you! This was slapped, then somebody owed money, to ritually show, that you had disrespected him to force through shame, that you would pay back. Where there issues about class and when to regard an insult and when not, which not really currently important. The Left cheek represented God. This could not be touched even by the High Priest. If somebody would smite that, he would immediately be stoned to death, for blaspheming against the Lord and asking something along the line: “Why did God create this vile Man, and disrespected me?” Nobody was equal to God or above Him, to askew thus... But then you're arguing with your rival, just as in Deu 25:11,12 where a woman's hand would be cut off, for touching his neighbours genitals, who was wrestling to the death with her husband. Because she tarnished the thing, what was used, to make oaths and thus broke his ID. In the face of the Law, that man was now lesser. As though he had intercourse with his neighbours wife!! You can in the heat of the moment slap the wrong cheek and be stoned to death. For that reason Jesus offered us this mercy to love our enemies. BUT With that he also opened the door to people who would abuse it and intentionally not pay their dues. How do you ask yours back, if your asked to talk to the other cheek and not to the hand? That's why Kindness is Evil!

You must always preserve for yourself, just as the Maccabites, who warred on Sabbath day, a way out, lest your own rules be used against you, like the woke do these days, to usher in their new world order. What are you gonna do, against that person, who slaps you out of reach, like the scene in Looney Tunes, then Spike was on a leash and Silvester slapped him with a newspaper. Spike just changed the thin line, to draw the enemy closer and pulled him out of his skin. So then you love your enemy, make sure you can avenge it, then the love is not returned in kind. Move towards that Perfection, Jesus spoke of, real slow. For you don't want people to abuse you, like the Idiot of Dostojevski.

Always be aware, what is going on, in and around you, like Adria did. You can hate her, for the deed, but it was brutally effective in dealing with her enemies, she so despised. That was the reason, she didn't like her daughter being Kind. She never had a plan for herself. Always fighting the battles of others, then even the mayor tried to escape. Is that worth living and dying for, little Christians? The Tavern put inside is just a silly remark. Leah, dost even know, what it means to run an Inn, for being a Mary-Sue, who always drives herself to the ground for others business. A good tavern owner must love herself, to make profit and provide the needs of its customers. Kinda hard to do it, then you wanna be the Heroine. Kindness has never be the virtue of Tavern owners, who sell booze, so people could forget their sorrows and would bitch about their fucked up life. Even the dances and songs of bards, is for the same reason. So you would not think of your poor life expectancy. She had a child's heart, being raised by an old geezer, dragging her along on his escapades, to discover the Prophecy. That all makes the story of Diablo 3 so great – and a good Gestalt Therapy for people like me, who come from broken families. You can't learn these things, then people share with you fairy tails, there the wicked witch runs into the forest to never be seen again, but dies dancing on hot iron slippers. Stories, there you experience the tragedy. I would have loved, if I could have had it in the Diablo 2 theme, but you can't have everything...

A Mother must not only nurture her children, but make them able to face the reality in Life. That was the strongest trait of the character of Adria the Witch, who made her daughter a vessel for Diablo, to ensure her the best Future possible and why she is worthy to hear the song “Mothers Heart” what is sang on Mothers Day even in churches, and annotated in our songbook, but what haughty Christians use to bully and nitpick who gets this honour. If I had to choose between a woman who cuts her child's genitals off and Adria, I would opt for the Witch. Because she does it for a real service, nowadays mothers do it for fame or I don't know why! What is your purpose in life, faithful Christians? How do you plead in raising your children? Are you as devout to your cause, as Adria the Witch was, or will you await for a better day, letting Jesus walk by to find someone else? Halleluyah, Deus Vult!
