act eight: what's yet to come
The example being, of course, that war would always be inevitable among his peers, and especially

Because when it came down to it... both men had the abilities and the skills to best the other at any time, and it of course had to be that one of them had to be the egocentric one whilst the other was the realist, and so only one of them saw the truth for what it was.
The unstoppable force and the immoveable object... forever locked in struggle, one only briefly gaining ground on the other before losing it once again. The cycle continues because there's no way for either man to stop it, nor is there any way for either man to stop themselves. As it stands, their only opportunity to gain ground in their eternal struggle is to stay determined to realize their future.
