Villagers live differently than conquerors.

Conquerors find refuge in villagers’ homes.

Villagers love the stories that conquerors bring them.

It’s natural for villagers’ homes to grow in possessions.

It’s natural for conquerors’ backpacks to be carefully screened.

Living a sedentary life, you can’t help but accumulate stuff.

Ascending atop the Mountain, you can’t help but abandon stuff.

Domestic life requires one to assemble elements of comfort.

Ascension requires one to shed attachments.

Domesticity is the compounding gain.

Ascension is the compounding sacrifice.

A true villager is thriving in the domesticity of his house.

A true conqueror is flourishing in the icy peaks of his rise.
