Third Dispatch. I have Advice. Written.

[trinkett]

Dear Luceti,

My efforts to gain notice by the Malnosso Organization for my considerable human resources skills have not been enough, I fear.

To this end, I shall be offering my services free of charge: Effie's Advisements. No problem is too large or too small! We shall overcome -- together.

Most Sincerely,

Effie.

I see. Well, I am quite an expert at being human!

[Though her humanity has been somewhat lacking, as it were.]

Is there anything specific I can help you with in the realm of human relations?

There are many aspects of humanity I am still trying to understand. Love, war, betrayal... I wonder what triggers such a thing. I wonder if humans are all inherently selfish or... perhaps there are some out there who can truly be labelled 'good'. Do they befriend and help others for their own gain or do they believe in something more than that?

Selfishness is a WONDERFUL trait! It keeps humans alive!

[Really. This is a very basic rule of survival. He DOES need her help.]

[Wonderful? He wasn't quite expecting a description like that but... it seemed a lot more important than he had first imagined.]

I see... it is a trait designed for survival? If survival was that important, why would some humans perform such selfless acts at the risk of their own life? And could not performing certain selfless acts benefit the world as a whole if we all worked towards a common goal?

I'm not sure. [There is a pause in the writing, and then:] You might ask a Miss Katniss Everdeen about selflessness. I don't have a lot of information on that topic.

[It's not a quality taught in the Capitol.]

Common goals are still self-interested ones.

Katniss Everdeen... All right, I will try to remember that name. Are you a friend of hers?

I suppose you are right. In the end, the individual seeks to succeed alongside everyone else even if they are heading in the same direction. Yet... in the past I had no thought to my own self. I continued to carry out the task I was born to do with no thought of why I was doing it or how it might affect me or others. If I carried on, the planet lived. If I faded away, the planet died.

In that case... I wonder if I really have started to become more human.

Might I suggest going for a relaxing massage? Some pampering? It's a way to truly get in touch with your own needs.

You Time.

Consider it!
