If they are returned someday, then yes. I do see your point as such. Sometimes the perspective is something needed I suppose.
he may not like it, but Enjolas can conceive that the point is not as bad as all of that. AS for the second point...Well. he's slowly giving Yaha an approving nod if that means anything.]
Helping naturally, yes. As many here have done when the call goes out.We are not so powerless as we appear. That may be something of a useful lesson too. And there ARE many good things to make it at least bearable, I will say that.
Fundamentally, it is flawed, and I think we must do many things ourselves to shift THAT away but there are things that...they make it easier, I suppose, and yes, they teach us things.
[And Enjolras is actually laughing a little here, recalling times he was essentially told that yes, everyone would appreciate if he shut up. Which he rarely did for long. And he is nodding.]
So it is much better, yes. It never was my greatest strength, but I was confident enough by the time it was needed that I think very few people realized it. I do well enough speaking but...
[And he IS simply being honest here, not trying for conceited at all.]
My articles and other writings. Those are where my true strengths may be found if I am allowed to be so bold. But no, I am not afraid to say what must be. I have seen too many silenced as you say, to be one who falls into that, or forgets to help them remember their voices too.
[As for being the light? Enjolras can hardly believe that he was asked this question, honestly. It is at once flattering, but deeply, deeply, inaccurate.]
I am a man, much like my brothers, and I am no more than that. That light you speak of may be found in small parts all around us, and in the future, filling every chasm there is. When there is light, when that is real, no one shall be subject to pain, hunger or loss, nor forced to fight for anyone, for it will not be needed.
That light is already here among us, and one person cannot be as such. A group of them perhaps...
[There is an eyedart there, yes.]
a group of them may bring about some of that light, but never man himself. We are not gods, simply united in that common good, and when the rest of the world joins us, it can never go out again.
Better than simply being the light, I should suggest.
