By Anthony T. Hincks (A book about you and the world – coming soon!)
If I was a savvy person, I would watch, and study mankind in order to find out where his weaknesses lay.
Greed, for sure; vanity; mistrust; a tendency towards violence; fanaticism, and many other less than honorable traits and even some honorable ones which could also be used, and capitalized on.
Then, once I had found his weaknesses I would act. I and some friends or family, not terms that I would usually use but ones that are more commonly used here on Earth, would start an empire.
Months – Years - Millennium
Who cares, for time is on my side, not yours! I would sow mistrust; magic; wisdom; knowledge, and start many religions.
Why many religions?
Because where would the fun be by just having one, when with a whole handful you can sow hatred; do unspeakable acts all in the name of religion. That’s a lot more fun, and, besides which, it suits my purposes.
Innovation – Invention – Intelligence
All of those things would come, but only at a time of my choosing.
Decades would pass and then centuries. Wars would be fought. He against him. He against her. She against him. They against others.
I tell you, watching something come to fruition is a hell of a lot of fun.
