⚠️ UNRELIABLE PROPHECIES WARNING ⚠️
This prophet's foretelling may or may not be accurate. This prophet offers no guarantees of the accuracy of their prophecies. Free will and the branching paths of fate may cloud this prophet's judgement. This prophet will say things you do not like, or which are easily misunderstood by those reading in bad faith. No refunds will be offered for inaccurate prophecies.
Would you destroy a better world to save this one?
In this matter, the truth is that we haven't seen anything yet.
I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.
Every man is free to do that which he wills, provided he infringes not the equal liberty of any other man.
