so like A interacts with people "thoughtlessly" + "cluelessly", chaotic B is aware of how they teach people to treat them like X, but struggles to change it C doesn't realize they teach people to treat them like X, but can turn it on or off depending on Y...

D is aware of how they teach people, and can control it, but hilariously, doesn't realize that other people don't share this skill, and gets frustrated by A, B and C

@visakanv It’s a short read, culminating in:‘Grace appears purest in that human form which has either no consciousness or an infinite one, that is, in a puppet or in a god.’ ‘Therefore...we would have to eat again from the Tree of Knowledge in order to return to the state of innocence?’
