The Unifying Factor.

This battlefield where the warriors unite in their defencelessness. Unified by an unforeseen horror. Frightened by the day and each passing one. And we seem to be armed with not a lot more than statistics. We are set upon, and we don't know why, and for how long, and we don't know the reason why. This evil mystery plays about with our lives, and we have no choice but to succumb to it. And we as a race don't tend to take adversaries seriously enough to allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by them. We are spirited and within the spirit lies our character. And within our hearts lies our love. There are many aspects to love. There is the love between a man and a woman and there is the love in a simple friendship where nothing much is asked for and where only friendship is gained. And from these things lies our oneness as a race. Love is the essence of our being, it can deceive us but we are unable to deceive love. Because without it we lack and are weak and are possibly devoid of spirit. And when a mysterious and evil enemy comes looking for us all, I believe that we would have to gather up all of the love that we have to attack it and to defend ourselves with.
