"But still, Lord Dio.
"Even if you were faced with an unavoidable tragedy--- if you know
about it, then you can 'prepare' yourself for it."
......Truly words that did not sound like they came from a child.
Because of the parents I grew up with, I matured fairly quickly, but I
doubt I could have said something so audacious at Boingo's age.
If you know the "future" you can "prepare" yourself.
If you can "prepare" yourself--- that leads to "happiness
In other words--- does that not mean that "heaven" is "the future?"
Knowing of a bad future is not "despair but it is "hope," is it not?---
Even if you know you are going to die tomorrow, if you are "prepared" for it, then
you are "happy are you not?
"Preparedness" dispels "despair
And the future itself is heaven--- that is the assumption.
Though it is still in the domain of an assumption--- Boingo's Stand
ability is not enough. "Thoth" is far from enough. Merely knowing the just a bit
into the future, the amount of preparing you can do is only just knowing about it,
it would seem.
The amount of resolve one can garner for the near future really is not
very much.
That is not the resolve I want--- There is a great difference in the
preparedness one would have being stuck in a bit of a pinch and someone you
care very much about being in great danger. It depends very much on the
situation. And without great resolve, I highly doubt one can reach heaven.
It is not enough. No, after all, at the current moment, I do not feel that
this is really enough to say it is a way to go to heaven.--- Is it possible that from
the point I was inspired with this idea, that I have only turned this way and that,
but never taken a step forward?
Then what exactly is this notebook? An account of my stagnation or
something?--- Ridiculous. I've been captured by improper thoughts. As I, Dio,
liken myself to an emperor, that is something that should not happen.
