If I tell anyone that becoming stronger is not the right way to become stronger, they will think I'm crazy.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Making money is not the way to make money.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'And yet, it is actually true. I mean, for the strength part.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I am supposed to gather experience in actual danger, and if I become stronger, there won't be danger in this cave anymore… I think.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This is so dumb.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Is this why there are so few truly powerful people? Is it because the majority of people are not retarded?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It's like someone's telling you to play the lottery to become rich. Like, what?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I mean, in a way, I can kind of make an argument for that. To become rich, playing the lottery might not be the best idea.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But what if you want a hundred million bucks?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'How hard is it to get that much money via normal means?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Just accept the retardation. Be one with the retardation.
