I often think back to that one day, one of the last warm autumn days when we went fishing together. I still wonder how that animal saw the world, how he understood what was happening to him, being pulled out of the water and staring at us, looking down at him. Back then I knew. I didn't have the words, but I knew. What were we, if not alien gods, cold and uncaring, tearing him out of his world into a realm far past his comprehension, only to feast upon his body and soul. Up until the point the hook pulled him out, even after the bite, he believed he understood the world and its rules. He knew what was possible and what was not. He survived endless amounts of moments, eating and flinging, had done it hundreds of times. He believed nothing could surprise him anymore, and when he thought he had it all figured out, then something like this happened. The world was much, much larger than that river, and these all-powerful beings looked down on him, not to judge him, not for a greater reason. I have been waiting since that day. When will I be pulled out of my river? I could tell you each and every part of that journey from memory. I could tell you where the path winds and bends, where the wind blows due to a break in the trees. The first corner you turn when you see it, miles away and covered in fog, but that unmistakable cold structure always in my mind. I felt like I didn't have any agency, just being forced back and forth along that hellish path to damnation. The worst part wasn't the screams, but the silence. I only had myself for company.  Each and every day I told myself that I'd do something, that I'd quit, leave, never look back. I never did. I kept getting paid, and I kept going home, and that's what the worst part is. The living with yourself. It's not the knowledge that you're having a hand in the murder of so many people. It's the fact that you can still sleep at night. I close my eyes, and all I can see is that structure of smoke, floating skyward against a red sky, then the raining down of a thousand souls, dancing in the wind. There comes a point where the faces of the people you've wronged become too many to recognize in a dream. They merge, and they change. No longer recognizable individuals, but an entire consciousness within your thoughts. I was once on the path when it began to snow, and from behind me I heard the laughter of a child as she reached her hand out and the snowflake fall into her hand, melting into nothing within a few seconds. Amidst all the screams, the curses, the cries, the sound of that laughter was the most haunting thing I have ever known. I won't beg for forgiveness. I don't want it. I don't deserve it. Whatever is coming for me after I die, I embrace as the inevitable. Thank you for listening.  Please become a patron or visit our merch store at the link in our bio to support our work. Secure.

Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we discussed the folly question that says what should be added to 5 3 upon 10 to get 6 2 upon 15. Let's proceed with the solution now. We consider let the required number be x that is x should be added to 5 3 upon 10 to get 6 2 upon 15. Now from here we get x would be equal to 6 2 upon 15 minus 5 3 upon 10. Now these are the two mixed fractions given to us. First we convert these mixed fractions to improper fractions. The mixed fraction 6 2 upon 15 would be equal to 15 into 6 that is 90 plus 2 that is 92 upon 15. Now consider the mixed fraction 5 3 upon 10 this is equal to 5 into 10 50 plus 3 53 upon 10. So we have converted the given mixed fractions to improper fractions. Now these two improper fractions are unlike fractions we need to change them to like fractions. Now to change them to like fractions what we do is first we find the LCM of the denominators of these two fractions that is we find the LCM of 15 and 10. Now we have 5 3 times is 15 and 5 2 times is 10 then 3 1 times is 3 and 2 1 times is 2 so we get LCM of 15 and 10 would be equal to 5 multiplied by 3 multiplied by 2 and this is equal to 30. Now we convert the given fractions into an equivalent fraction having denominator equal to 30 that is the LCM of 15 and 10. Consider the fraction 92 upon 15 now we multiply its numerator and denominator by 2 to get the denominator as 30 which is the LCM of 15 and 10 so this is equal to 184 upon 30. Now consider the fraction 53 upon 10 now we need to convert its denominator to 30 and for that we need to multiply its numerator and denominator by 3 so this is equal to 159 upon 30. We had x is equal to 6 2 upon 15 minus 5 3 upon 10. Now 6 2 upon 15 is equal to 92 upon 15 which is further equal to 184 upon 30 and 5 3 upon 10 is equal to 53 upon 10 which is equal to 159 upon 30. Thus we get x is equal to 184 upon 30 minus 159 upon 30 and so this would be equal to 184 minus 159 upon 30 which is equal to 25 upon 30 that is we get x is equal to 25 upon 30 now 5 5 times is 25 and 5 6 times is 30 so this is equal to 5 upon 6. So we get 5 upon 6 should be added to 6 2 upon 15 to get 5 3 upon 10 so 5 upon 6 is our final answer. This completes the session hope you understood the solution for this question.
