A note to my brother in search of himself
The path of greatness is one of constant assault; people in your life and society more broadly will attempt to comfort and harass, flatter and undermine, seduce and break you into mediocrity. An inclination towards greatness, such as I see in you Qadir, is an existential threat to mediocrity; faced with the realization of the former, the latter cannot continue to justify its own existence. Your aspiration will elicit opposition from the most unlikely of sources-friends, lovers, even family - but also it will tempt a seemingly indifferent universe to conspire with you in achieving good and momentous things. You are permitted a long path to greatness, marked by the varying outcomes of experiments and adventures, but ultimately I expect nothing less from you Brother, nothing less.
