Perhaps such tails of heroics and love are appropriate for those who live for but a hundred years.

For those of us who live longer, however...the darkness and pain of humanity is far more of a danger. Perhaps a short-lifer might have equal good and ill in them and the good is shown through their love. But among my kind, there is much suffering we must hide. And if love shows ones deepest desires and amplifies all...well, with the power we possess and the horrors we have seen, there could be little left of the galaxy when we were done venting our darkness.
