“Hardest created thing is the Stone. Iron is even harder than Stone since it cuts the Stone. Fire is even harder than Iron since it can melt the Iron. Water is even harder than Fire since it can extinguish it. Clouds are even harder than Water since they move it around. Winds are even harder than Clouds since they move the Clouds around. Yet Angel who dispatches the Wind is harder than the Wind itself. And the Angel of Death is even harder than the Angel which dispatches the Winds since it can take away its life. And Death is even harder than the Angel of Death, since it takes away the Angel of Death. Yet harder than all these is the order of God - the Lord of the Two Worlds - which can take away death itself.”

“So, imagine if only some events in life were pre-ordained, and only to a certain extent. The choices you make would still make an impact on the way events play out. I like to think that only a few things in life are truly left up to fate, if fate exists. Like set stops on a journey. You're going to hit them, but the way you reach them is up to you, as well as the way you let them influence the rest of your path.”
