We always like to think the road not traveled is the better one. It might have been easier, or you might have been left wondering what you'd given up, regretting the missed opportunity. Who can say?
Sources of joy though, those have been few and far between in our history Magnus. One might argue that they're unnecessary, if but if that's so what are we living for? [When opportunity presents itself, do not hesitate.]
Having your own values Ultra Magnus, that's what's truly important. They are what guide you when all else fails. If they agree with the polices and regulations that you uphold, then that is perfection, but when those polices and regulations replace your own values, you stop being able to think for yourself and the potential for problems grows. Because though law and order is required, it cannot see what is needed by the people. Only we can. We are the checks and balances, people like you especially, who can truly see if those laws are serving their appropriate purpose.
Our society fell to ruin because we didn't see the need for change soon enough. We let the system--which began good and became flawed overtime--persist because it's what society, the Senate, dictated.
Dai Atlas even fell to it. He was so obsessive about maintaining the Circle's laws at Crystal City, that upholding them lead to preventable loss of life and freedom.
