Final Words

I been thinking about writing a letter that would be read only after my death. The thoughts then came "who will I write to" and "where in life would I be at the time of my death?" It stuck me today who it would be to, and where I would be in my hummable life goals. So I thought I would share it with all of you who read this blog.



My final Words is a letter,

___________________________________________

To my Assassin,

I know you will find this letter strange and I would beg of you to read it, as it is the final wish from a man you killed.

I first want to tell you that I don't blame you, not in the lest,. In fact I have planned this death by your hands. It is fine if you don't believe me. I knew you would would have to kill me in public, not for your own glory but for everyone else, so that they could let there hate for me die in there hearts and unite in a way that I could never unite them in life.

I wont pretend that I planned this from the start. In my rise of power I thought that I could unite the world though diplomacy and mutual agreements but I was wrong. The only way to true peace is by wearing the guise of the tyrant and so I did. Through my merciless hand I engulfed every government every man who stood in my way. At first I thought I was going to be able to shed the guise of a tyrant and take the rule of this planet in my hands and show this world true peace. But I saw how the hearts of though I love turn on me, the ones who I trusted no longer were my friends and they only feared me. Who I am, was lost to my masks and I am now a slave to my purpose. A people bound to a ruler that they hate and fear will never truly unit, I have already seen rebellions and uprisings from the people who would rather die then live another day under my rule. Though my heart never grew cold I wish it had, for the sting of hate is more then I can bare.

I know you and the world think me evil, and it was important for them to believe this before I died. For you see now you are the hero to our people, you can lead them into a new dawn show them that you can be the leader I know in your heart you are. Show them the world of peace that I am willing to die for. I have watched you, "my once close friend" and I know your true heart.  Please do not show this letter to anyone, for I do not want my mask of evil to be swept away but to remain strong so that you can use it as a rock to unite a people and guide a world to a new light.

I don't expect you to believe me. In fact I suspect that you may think that this is a ploy of some sort to make you feel guilty for killing me. That is not my purpose, I planned my own death. I ask you' "Is a gun blamed for the murder when it did not fully understand who aimed and pulled the trigger?" I would say no. Nor will I blame you for doing what I know you must do. In time I hope that you will find my words to be true and find that I was not evil but instead I used evil to gain a higher good. If you one day are the only person in this world who does not hate me then I can rest in peace knowing there was at lest one.

Your emperor, and servant
