- 00:00 - 00:30
- 00:30 - 01:00 Greetings, painter. It's been a while, hasn't it? Painter, as of today, your obligation comes to an end. We need a verdict.
- 01:00 - 01:30 I am a painter. I paint. The sole purpose of my existence is to paint emotions for the next creation of beings designed for planet Earth to enjoy. These are my superiors to whom I send my paintings. Together they make up the higher ones who the creator has trusted with most decisions concerning the next creation.
- 01:30 - 02:00 They don't have the ability to understand emotions like I do. Feeling is an ability only the creator has that he has entrusted to me alone to express through my paintings for the next creation.
- 02:00 - 02:30 painter, you waste our time. Answer us
- 02:30 - 03:00 now. What is your judgment? Before we
- 03:00 - 03:30 hear what she has to say for herself, should we not discuss the atrocity we have witnessed recently? Atrocity? Are we not going to discuss these hated emotions which have filled us up with
- 03:30 - 04:00 some sort of of look at that one? What do you call it? And that one. When did we give the order to paint such nonsense, such darkness? Well, they are quite negative feelings indeed.
- 04:00 - 04:30 This responsibility was primary bestowed upon you so that you would only paint the most positive of emotions for the next creation. Was that not the plan? Was the plan not rooted from the desire for them to enjoy the lives that will be
- 04:30 - 05:00 given to them? Yes, but I believe they should feel everything they can. There's thorough enjoyment in that.
- 05:00 - 05:30 What is so great about the next creation feeling these things? They will come to hate us for it. Come to hate themselves. Even painter, these are a beloved new creation with so much potential. They do not deserve dreadful feelings such as whatever it is you have suddenly started to paint for them. Your splendor, I agree. But you cannot and should not have one emotion without the other. What good is solely experiencing a positive
- 05:30 - 06:00 emotion with nothing to compare it to? And it isn't all as black and white as it seems. There are the little things in life. What does that even mean? The little things aren't emotions I can encapsulate in paintings. They are brief yet fulfilling moments that stimulate positive emotion and can only be uncovered in the
- 06:00 - 06:30 seemingly mundane or unimportant events in one's life. The debate went on for quite some time and I fought as hard as I could for the next creation to be able to feel the full spectrum of emotions. But at the end of the day, all they could focus on was the next creation losing their love of life.
- 06:30 - 07:00 All right, let's take the vote. All those in favor of disallowing the nextation to feel emotion say I. I. Painter be prepared to have your abilities taken from you as soon as the report of this meeting reaches the creator. My argument was weak to them.
- 07:00 - 07:30 And now the next creation will never get to experience the beauty of feeling. Neither bad emotions nor good. Before it's too late and my purpose is taken from thee. I will finish painting every possible emotion you could ever feel. You're my personal creation and this is my judgment. To them my purpose is taken from me. They could find joy. I could pass on this ability. This expression my personal
- 07:30 - 08:00 real life my legacy will never live on. I'm prepared to carry the weight of your hatred though if it makes you feel any better. I've already felt every emotion one could possibly feel because I am painting them. Painter, be prepared to have your abilities taken from you as soon as the
- 08:00 - 08:30 report of this meeting reaches the creator. I am painting what you're feeling in this exact moment. You waste our time. So feel it. Please feel all of it. Was the planet from the desire for them to enjoy the lives of being given to them. You are the only ones who will be able to fail profoundly wholeheartedly,
- 08:30 - 09:00 meaningfully and for eternity.
