I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be.

And so, here I am.

An end to a means

The General spoke with kindness and concern to the young Captain.

"You manage with power, and control. Discipline and loyalty are fragile things, especially in times of war. You might want to explore leading and inspiring, lifting up instead of forcing down. Fear is no way to bring out the best in anyone. For in the end, if you continue in this way, you will have many wars, external, and internal, but few useful soldiers, and when you have lost, it will be for naught, for a people who do not deserve it, and you will have made it that way."
