"Pagan… " "Silence, Mr. Chang." He would suffer no interruptions and Wu Fei subsided, chancing a quick look to see Duo sitting erect in his seat, a stance remarkably unlike Duo. "You in particular need to think, Chang Wu Fei. You will lead your people, as Milliardo leads Sanc. You will please take the time to remember; particularly those who shaped the development of your character. People you considered friends and enemies. In our lives we all love, we all lose, and we all, at some time, make the decision to move on. You need to take the time to contemplate the past, in order to approach the future." "Are you done?" Duo glared, his eyes a hard frosty blue. "Far from it, Mr. Maxwell. You too need to consider your past; the good and the bad. We all have done things we are ashamed of, and things we are proud of, and we do not necessarily care who agrees, or disagrees, with our views. I do not talk merely to hear the sound of my own voice; I have taken my own accounting this night. This is a review one is required to make periodically, if one is to plan for the future." Duo frowned and Wu Fei stared. This was not the interview either had expected. He had expected to be told in no uncertain terms the inappropriateness of his actions and he would be required to leave the palace. Perhaps not his position on the King's staff, but certainly he would need to find new accommodations. He was uncertain what Duo expected, but he was sure it was not this. Behind the old man the fire spat and crackled and in the bed the King stirred. Pagan gave the man the chance to settle, there was still a few minutes before the King needed to be roused and he wanted to use this time to drive his message home. "Reviewing the mistakes and successes of the past helps keep perspective. You are less likely to repeat a mistake if you take the time to recollect your interactions with the people and places you have known. For best effect you need to view these things as neutrally as possible. Being unbiased in your review is something you need to attempt to achieve, if you are to be honest with yourself." "I am not certain I understand where you are going with this." Wu Fei dared to interrupt. "Then you should listen harder, Mr. Chang. You need to consider your past, the interaction you have enjoyed with other people and the prospects for future interaction. Such future considerations are best formulated on solid foundations. Review the high points and the low places, we have them in abundance I assure you. Thereafter, should you think yourself worthy and you settle the shades of your past, I suggest you consider approaching him honestly. In my considered opinion, that is the only way you have a chance of winning him." ~ * ~ |
