Practical Philosophy, Thursday
"This weekend, I hear many of you experienced prospective futures," Ender said, his mouth quirking. "I feel like I have to assure you all, if you haven't been through this already, that none of these are fixed or even certain."
They'd moved to the edge of the pond, as he'd told Sidon he would do. Though this week, it probably wasn't as necessary as it had been. Ah well.
"They can be useful lessons in what to do or to avoid," he continued. "Something you shouldn't do, or someone you shouldn't push out of your life, no matter how tempting it might seem at the time." Not that he'd had any experience with this or no. "Of course, they can also be ridiculous twists of fate. Or a place you'd like to wind up. Whatever the case, there's always something to learn, I feel."
He looked into the group.
"What was your weekend like? Were you older, or yourself, or not present at all? Do you feel it means something, can you find any instruction on it, or did you experience it as a load of nonsense?" A pause. "I wouldn't fault anyone who did."
