if a chicken says
"all chickens are liars"
is the chicken telling the truth?

Right, of course. I can't say I've met many talking chickens, anyway... but that alone would make it an uncertain situation. Why would it be talking to me in the first place?

I would find that rather distressing. It would see what a terrible person I am.

[That's just Kain's opinion of course.]

[Well, you said it sees his heart! That's one terrifying chicken!]

Believe me, I try my hardest to be better than I am. I don't think I've always succeeded.

I... well... I guess you have a point. So in other words.... as long as I'm trying to be better than I am... I'm not as terrible as I tend to think? Is that right?

I have to wonder if such a day will ever really come, though. I've been trying for what feels like a long time.

one day at a time kain
worrying about the future is useless
worrying about the past is a fools errand 「Atem being the king of fools, of course.」

the present and what you do with it is what matters
youll be fine

I might dwell a little in the past sometimes.

[Understatement of the century there.]

But I'll try to keep that in mind. The past can be haunting and difficult to move beyond, even if it's for the best to do so.
