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 flatter and harass, comfort 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 becomes frenzied, defensive, attempting to justify its own existence. Your aspiration will elicit opposition from the expected corners, but also from some unexpected places - friends, lovers, possibly 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.
