But I’m not willing to base my life on the hope that I’ll get a prize when it’s over. It doesn’t mean I’m not moral; it does mean my morality is not based on the fear of eternal punishment, but rather on the idea of minimizing the pain I cause others here and now, because I want to live in the sort of world where everyone acts like I do.

He and I had this precise conversation not two days ago.

I sometimes worry that we’re not giving him enough of a moral compass with the complete lack of religion in his life, but then I remember he damn well knows right from wrong, and what being grounded for a month feels like.

Plus, these little pre-8AM conversations are almost as good as coffee for waking me up. Gotta stay on your toes with these kids.

Never feel the need to apologize here without provocation. And you bring up an interesting point; I’m not sure I can do an action sequence either.

Okay, that wasn’t the point you were making, but still….

“How do you make a staged magical battle between two wizards who don’t have magic powers exciting?”

Well, how do you make a “normal” battle exciting? Once you’ve figured out the magic part isn’t “pushing a bead of energy,” all that’s left is choreography.

(I was going to apologize for this, but I guess you’d be used to simplistic answers.)
