Although who doesn't like to see
their friends fail now & then?
----
Chaos isn't a pit.
Chaos is a ladder.
Many who try to climb it
fail & never get to try again.
The fall breaks them.
And some are given a chance to climb,
but they refuse.
They cling to the realm or the Gods or love.
Illusions.
Only the ladder is real.
The climb is all there is.
