Speaker 0 (0s): Welcome back. My friends. Welcome back. Hope everybody is enjoying the day. The moment in your life, your relationships, your constant classroom, learning the idea that as you go through life, you begin to see things from different points of view. Hopefully, hopefully the lessons while difficult are rewarding, what is better than a good story? 

Speaker 1 (41s): Pizza, boatloads cocaine in a stripper, 

Speaker 0 (47s): You might think to yourself, a good story that makes me think, and its in that spirit that I have a story for you today. Are you ready? Here we go. There were five brave warriors 

Speaker 2 (1m 6s): Who set out on a quest. 

Speaker 0 (1m 10s): They set out on a quest on a journey. 

Speaker 3 (1m 15s): They set out to do something. No one had ever done before. 

Speaker 0 (1m 20s): Not because the task at hand was impossible. It was more of a fantasy. Let me explain in this world, in which these five warriors lived, there was often a yearly story 

Speaker 3 (1m 40s): That was as such a magnitude. Most people would never walk out of their houses. The lightning, the thunder crashing the torrential rains and winds made it almost impossible to be outside. However, there was a myth in this village slash town that if one was brave enough and could go out into these storms and could sail the seas during this storm, it was rumored that they could move through the waters and sail to a mythical island where everything was perfect. 

So that's what these five warriors decided to do. They have been preparing their shit. 

Speaker 0 (2m 42s): They had been preparing their minds and their rations in their weapons. Clouds began to role in the sounds of thunder. Enlightening came crashing down upon seeing the storm heading towards their village. The young men prepared their boat and set out to see the journey began, wins, crashing the sea, being angry and tossing the boat. 

But the men moved on. They kept pushing 

Speaker 3 (3m 22s): Forward and before long 

Speaker 0 (3m 26s): They were out to sea. However, they could not see anything unsure of which way the boat was heading. The large sails began to rip and tear into shreds. The boat was thrust up against walls of water, cracking the hole. On one side, the crewmen were thrown from side to side before long the boat was in tatters and the men had collapsed, but that's not the end of our story. 

It's just the beginning. They woke up all fives on a boat in pieces in tatters, but on a reef 

Speaker 3 (4m 26s): And not far from the shallow reef, they saw an island one that wasn't on any map 

Speaker 0 (4m 33s): That had ever seen. They made their way. The short distance from where their boat was to the island, upon reaching the island, they were greeted by men and women who looked almost like themselves, but seemed to be more perfect in that the skin was flawless. There a tire was magnificent, flawless, not a wrinkle on their clothes, not a spot on their shoes that I hear out, a place. 

The strangers welcomed, the five warriors. The strangers told the warriors that they will be able to repair their ship and they will be able to heal them in most of which had injuries from their violent sea voyage. The men were taken into the town into a large homestead where they were given rations and medical attention. Their boat was taken to a shipyard to be repaired on the third day, when the men began feeling better, I thought they knew a little training. 

So the five warriors make their way to the training grounds for some exercise and to look around the island a bit. And what they see is, or appears to be a world much like their own, but almost perfect cobblestones are smooth. The architecture beautiful. It seems immaculate. 

The five warriors begin trying to comprehend all the things they are seeing and they are taking in the beauty and they are blown away by how precise and how exact and how seemingly beautiful perfection can be. As they're thinking this, a young woman from one of the stables comes by to bring them some refreshments in to check on. And as the young woman makes her way towards the five warriors, she slips on a cobblestone and as she slips the refreshments, she brings, she's bringing to the men fall from her hand and spill everywhere. 

And the wine stains, the cobblestones. And as they can see this, their first thought is, Aw, this poor girl. And they begin making their way towards that young girl that fell. But before they can get there, every other person runs over to the young woman in a violently beat her using stones to crash in her skull, kicking her, stoning her until she dies. 

Five warriors are blown away, not understanding the violence, the extreme violence they've seen not understanding why they don't say anything that off the bat, because there's nothing to say. When one sees that type of violence is the type of violence that takes a little bit a processing to Think about and understand that. 

I really see that. Is that something that really happened? So the men go back to training somewhat and another woman comes out and this woman does not fall. She brings the RefreshMints and one of the warriors asked her, what was it that we just saw? And a young woman says in our world, in our village, on our island, the emperor does not tolerate imperfection. 

And it is our emperor's wish that those who cannot be perfect must die. <inaudible> the next day, the five Warrior's much more cautious of the world in which they are currently inhabiting begin to see other acts of violence. A slip of the tongue causes all the patron's in a bar to swarm on a man, violently savagely, beating him until he dies. 

The bodies hauled off the area's cleaned up. Life goes on like nothing happened 

Speaker 3 (10m 3s): Later that day. As the mineral, walking through the town and heading back to their residence, to see a child walking through the streets, playing with his ball, throwing it up, catching it, throwing it up, catching it, throwing it up and missing him. And just like a young woman in the man before him, the child is savagely, beaten, murdered, and discarded. 

Some of the warriors begin to become really uneasy and they ask more people, why are you doing this? Why would you savagely beat a child? What would you savagely beat a woman for a mistake. In each time they ask someone, they are told it is the wishes of our emperor. It is because of our emperor that we cannot tolerate 

Speaker 0 (11m 3s): In perfection. And that is our society. It is because of our emperor, our emperor demands perfection. It is our society. It is the way in which our world, our island is. It is the wish of our emperor. Every time the men ask it is the wish of our emperor. Okay? The five warriors begin thinking to themselves, what sort of an emperor would demand this type of penalty for a mistake. 

And so they decide that they wanted to meet this emperor and they ask the patrons in which they are staying. If that would be possible for them to meet the, the patron says, of course, that's what you're. You must go to the island next to ours, which is a safe boat right away and on that island, which is the emperor's island. 

There is a castle. And in that castle, there is the emperor. And so the fi...
