the gods have laid a miserable fate upon us...

I could have been reincarnated as anything- A god, a demon , a superior being in the cosmos. 

Instead I got stuck on planet earth as a human. A less then average human in mediocre times. 

To what satisfaction is there? Never ending struggles and occasional or rare gratification. 
Nothing is certain. Each being in the human realm exists in their own dream reality. We live in fear of ultimate death and loss and fail to reach enlightenment. 

Even if we reach such a state of enlightenment our physical bodies being composed of elements will break down rendering whatever mental bliss we attach to such concepts useless. 

Do you know your place?

nope, thats not how these things work.

better than being stuck on mars under those circumstances. You cant breathe up there.

occasional gratification is pretty ok.

fear is a choice, enlightenment is just a label, and death is whatever.

... and?

Do you know your place?

Our "place" isn't real.
There is not some Kweerie-shaped niche carved out in the side of the world waiting for Us to come fill it. There is no space cordoned off for Us, except that which We, Ourself, have made.

There is only the ground. The ground We now stand upon, the ground We have tread upon previously, and the ground on which We have yet to walk.

There is a modicum of use in considering the state of the grass on a given piece of ground. But said use pails in comparison to that of taking steps.

I was under the impression the Gods made all this for their amusement... didn't you read Greek philosophy or whatever?

We have read a great many things. All written by fallible creatures with only the narrowest perspective of the system they proclaim to know. They have tried their best to describe what they see, and We in turn try Our best to discern what is true. 

You play the hand you're dealt. There is no option.

What you mean no option? That means Zeni isn't going to get laid along with some of us.

Not quite.

What We're saying is that you cannot move a knight to e5 when it's on b2. And you certainly cannot make that move if you are, in fact, playing Monopoly. 

That Zeni isn't going to get laid has less to do with the fact that he is Zeni, and more to due with that he continues to conduct himself in the way we have come to expect him to; i.e. the failure is in his strategy, and not his starting position.

Some things are beyond one's control. Those are not things worth expending effort on.
