(Actually) Interesting Ideas for Ending the Amarr-Minmatar Conflict

The only thing? No. But morality is something that comes from the soul. Some people might be born more good than others, more naturally pure of heart, but most people are not. Human beings are driven to base impulses and selfish greed. We need to learn how to push aside those feelings and reach for better paths. It is through the development of the soul that a person grows in emotional and spiritual wellness. Amarr call that development the Reclaiming. When you throw that away, when you let the soul rot, you are left with a society that seeks only material fulfillment - owning the bigger house, the better job, the best trophies with which to proclaim your superiority.

And if your thought here goes to, “But what about all the Amarr ostentatiousness?” Then you’d be right. Works that should be made for the purpose of praising God are so often done only to praise the self. This is exactly what I am talking about. We need to get back to the root of the faith: humble dedication to God and the Reclaiming of our own souls.

Faith, ultimately, is the development of the soul in order to achieve a transcendental wholeness. God is our lord, but most important for our living here among His creations is to Reclaim ourselves - to become better people, worthy of God’s love. That is the Destiny of Faith. While I speak as an Amarr, honestly any society that places faith before material desires is more wholesome than one that does not, even if they do not recognize God. At least such a society still acknowledges the soul and its importance in our lives.
