Book XVIII: Odysseus learns


We often live through the Gods. We wait for them to decide on our fates, and for them to determine our present and our future. We are weak creatures for this, we must learn to control our own minds, and be self-aware. For depending on the Gods for too much can lead to misery, and defeat. However, searching for happiness, and strength cannot take you everywhere. You will need to seek help from family, and possibly the Gods. It is a difficult task to master, and accomplish, and many, like me are still trying to find ourselves, and our true happiness. You have to receive all that is handed to you by the Gods, and you have to always obey the law and keep order. I have learned this throughout my long journey, and it is key to accept the gifts, and let the Gods help you succeed, you just cannot depend on them for everything. To destroy the household of a man and dishonor his home and his wife,  is a dirty sin. When the master of the house comes home, it is best not to be there when he returns, for he shall not be happy. To end the matter, it will not end kindly, someone must die to end a battle. In my years of war I had to painfully learn that the hard way, you must battle until all enemy blood is shed.
