Due to family medical issues, Requiem is on indefinite hiatus.

An elderly family member of ours took a bad fall on Labor Day night, and we’ve been dealing with the aftermath ever since. Hopefully, things will get sorted out, but as of right now, doing a daily comic is not something my schedule can allow.

Sorry to have this happen, but as everyone knows, real life comes first….and at least we don’t have too many running storylines on the backburner.

    The curse of the immortal. To stay young as all around you age.
    Which is compounded if you have the problem of having to keep your immortality secret from everybody as well.

    You can kind of see why she gets the view that a couple of billion deaths are acceptable if to her they will die soon anyway…

    I believe you’ve found the nub of the issue. Immortality gives power and as Lord Avon noted: Power corrupts.

    Power itself does not corrupt, however living for eons on end watching all you do care about wither and die begins to eat at your psyche. Eventually you become jaded with life, at that point you begin to do anything to either add adventure and danger to your life or to end it, no matter the cost to anyone but you. That is when the corrupt actions begin.

      @Dragonrider, the older you get, the more you want things to stay the same. It’s the younger who crave excitement and change. As for power … have you ever had a boss who felt that their staff only had jobs as long as he/she felt they were “good employees” – what ever they chose that to be on any given day? That is power corrupting – maybe only a little bit, but none the less. Or the traffic judge who knows you’re guilty because you’ve been accused by officer x.

      Power undoubtedly has a corrupting influence. How much and to what extent depends upon the individual, but the truism is still valid. Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Read your history. It’s there.

      End of lecture.

    Ken has a clue. A much better clue than most, from what I can tell.

    Listen and learn, kids.

    …er…uh…That is, read and learn.

    I’m looking at the ripe old age of 52 this year. The older I become, the more I crave knowledge, stability …and peace and quiet. In my youth, it was the other way ’round. I was a straight up adrenaline junky. I’ve had the opportunity to do and experience things most people never will.

    I learned a lot about myself and about others along the way, and I probably wouldn’t trade those experiences for anything …but I wouldn’t do most of them again any time soon, were I in better health and young again. Instead, I would probably use that experience and knowledge in memetically engineering a calmer, peaceful world, even if it meant that people must suffer the end of ‘life as they know it’ before it becomes a world which is permanently at peace.

    Hobson’s choice, really. For whatever suffering you cause others, no matter the motivation or intent, you will, in the end, meet that same suffering yourself. What comes around does, indeed, go around.
