Loki

I was thinking a lot about Loki this morning and how he is heralded as a sort of savior, but also brought so much vile and disgust to Asgard because of the way he saved it. He used dishonesty and trickery, to rescue. What I resolved from it was that the end does not justify the means.

So, my methods for fooling children to do what was best when I babysat them was wrong, as was my notion of finding a way to slip a drug or inception in an others mind, although, my desired results would be good, if the best truely happens on it's own anyway... Oh, but, no one was going to be able to save the gods anyway (acording to Morsel mythology) The reason Loki could even save them was because of his unique lineage. It enabled his to both be a part of them and yet not be, so he had insights unlike anyother. I think it was part of his person. His genetic make up actually allowed him to do what no one else could.

According to what I read yesterday, he had the makings of a good leader, he only made a tiny mistake in telling others what he did. I read, now it is a fault to believe everything you read (from a song) but, this was credible, it said that a truely great success is getting your result, but making it seem like it had another origin. Well, Loki messed up in seeking recognition for what he did, so instead of just doing and quietly saving the gods he told of the way he did so. And so making known his brilliance and cunningness, a thing of Giants.

A thing that troubles me is that Odin is the son of both Giant and god himself, according to Morsel stories of creation, which is a truly brilliant attempt to explain how man and earth came to be. So many things I had assumed unique to Mormonism finds a place in this mythology. (More thought required here, so I part ways with you, reader...)
