Dogmas and Rituals

## The Dogmas

* Everyone has their place, and by extension their usefulness.

The mechanisms that allow our holy city to survive are fragile, we are fragile... But nevertheless, together, united, if we count on the work of each other we can offer a future to the city! Because we all have a role, a function that allows it to stand up for itself, to offer a future for the next generation. Let us fulfill our role, fulfill our task and observe this city that we love so much, and be proud! Because our city lives! And this is the proof that we live, we offer this heritage to our offspring, we will always be together because the city, our city as long as it is standing will be the proof that we have lived.

* Divergence is the first step towards the destruction of everything.

Why is my life defined from birth? Believe it or not, this simple question was once responsible for many of our ills. We all know, we all need each other's skills, we would not survive if the slightest person decided in a selfish impulse to perform a task that is not assigned to them or worse! Not to perform his role. If we break the fine chain that binds each of our actions together, our city will fall inexorably to us, why would we want to let fate play with our short and miserable lives when we can ensure an immortal future for a city that each of our actions have consolidated?

* We live to keep the city alive.

Why? Futile.... How? Pointless... At all times, fools and idiots ask themselves unnecessary questions that distract them from our common mission. For through our city we have transcended death whether they like it or not. Each of our actions intertwined together form the city, our city! It will protect our species until the end of time, by performing our roles, our tasks, we contribute to it. And is there anything more honorable to dedicate our pitiful but fierce existence? Is that even possible? No. And hoping to believe otherwise is just madness, we all know that.
