Sometimes I wonder if life is meaningless, if everything I'm doing is ultimately pointless and if there's no reason to keep trying in spite of extreme adversity; I cry myself to sleep sometimes, wondering if I should just get it over with. Upon playing this fine work of art, my stance has changed. When the noted German philosopher Hegel bespyed Emperor Napoleon, he remarked "I saw the Emperor - this world-spirit - go out from the city to survey his realm." Prior to playing this game, I had not understood this statement, wondering how someone could utter such an inane statement, but now I feel as though I finally understand; I have played this game and directly seen the world-spirit with my own two eyes, the material realization of god itself, and I now have no more doubts. If I perished tomorrow, if all of my efforts only resulted in ruin, if every word I had spake were untrue, I would still be content, as I have played this game.
