I sat at the bus stop, obviously waiting for my bus to arrive, when an elderly lady walked up to me with a bunch of JW magazines in her hand. She pointed at one of the headlines and asked me: "Do you want to live life withouth suffering?"
Now, I've been playing Dragon Age: Origins for two days in a row, so I saw this as a typical dialogue situation fabricated by BioWare. It felt like my answer options were these:
a) Get lost you old hag!
b) I'm an atheist, I don't care much of your silly superstitions
c) (Ignore)
d) (Persuade) I am already living a life without suffering, thank you!
I chose d) and the lady looked absolutely flabbergasted and walked away mumbling to herself. It might be a small win, but highly satifactory!

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
