Well. As we have previously established, I come from a militarist society, much like yours. With the exception that mine seems to be, judging by the information you have shared so far, far more efficient than yours. I am not merely singing the praises of my homeland, realize. I speak of very tangible, factual indicators of efficiency. Such as the fact that our wars would never last more than five years at worst.
One of the foundations of said efficiency is the fact that independent thinking and the emotional states leading to it are, respectively, outlawed and seen as the worst disease imaginable. Which brings me to point out that, as you can imagine, my country lacks literary endeavors, again much like yours. It is especially because of that, I believe, that a man who finds himself living in such a society should pursue the study of literature.
... You may say, however, that I ended up getting too close to what was foreign to me. I caught the disease.
