Come, Ben! Come join us!
What did you think of our first day?
The weather was awesome, the scenery beautiful. I understand better, Bo, why you enjoy paddling down this river so much!
For my part, I find the water a little cold.
Hah! You indeed got a taste of it! I’m happy that we pulled ourselves out of this incident so well. With the canoe wrapped around a rock, it could have been the end of our trip.
Yes! We owe it to our hero of the day who saved the trip. Flo was a great team player; she is an inspiration to us all!
Enough patronage, Ré! Give me a break!
Oh dear, Flo is susceptible today! We must forgive her. She’s under a lot of pressure these days.
Flo, Ré is just trying to recognize what you’ve done today. We’re trying to help you. Maybe you need a break. Maybe you’re not cut out for this leadership position.
I know Flo is an excellent leader. She proved it with our first integrated system.
Flo wants us to leave her alone; let’s talk about tomorrow ...
The river will be mostly like today, with very few rapids. Our incident today was more due to bad luck than anything else. That said, we’ll take some time tomorrow to play and practice in the few rapids that we’ll encounter. We will learn to work with the currents. After tomorrow, there will be the difficult rapid to go through.
Please teach us, Bo! I really don’t want to swim again!
I’m still thinking about the case of Jo against Ta. Sorry, but my head is still in the city!
Me too, Mi. What’s haunting me is this escalating tension with the Talo.
I was thinking of the outcome. She killed him! In the social contract, we give up our right to defend ourselves in exchange for state protection. But what happens when the state fails to protect us?
You’re not suggesting that she was right to kill him, are you?
No. Well, I don’t think so. I’m just reflecting on the failure of the system to defend Jo.
The problem with your suggestion, Mi, is that we all have our little stories to justify our frustrations and our right to justice. In the absence of an impartial judge, it would be chaos. We would kill each other on false perceptions.
Indeed, we’re all very talented at inventing stories to justify our personal agendas.
