I should just ask others for it. [k] ?1:Basically, I think you might have been going about[csr]your duties a little TOO stoically so far. ?! [charaFace A 8] @Santa Karna You're right. I thought being Santa was something I had to do on my own. [k] @Santa Karna But what I really want is the strength to become someone else, like I did when I was studying under Droṇa. [k] @Santa Karna Aśvatthāman, Duryodhana, Yudhiṣṭhira,[sr]Bhima, Arjuna... [k] @Santa Karna Some of them were enemies, but I may never have become as strong as I did if it wasn't for them. [k] @Santa Karna So...maybe I should do the same thing now. If I can't do this all on my own, I should probably ask for help. [k] @Santa Karna Help from someone who may be able to make me stronger.
