You also can do not only write, but draw, sing, create music and sculptures, translate into other languages you learn for practicing (and never simplify text when you translate it!). Show us that you did.

Infinite inevitability.

"Why are you so calm?" Savra tore herself away from the papers and looked around the department.
The men were relaxed, fooling around. Khan and Rodon were throwing paper balls at each other, Fadge was lazily flicking the settings, aiming the destroyer at the paper-balls that had fallen to the floor. Mergen looked out the window, where Firokami was sparkling with life.
" Don't you guys even care? We've got a killer walking around town!"
" There's more than one," Mergen said lazily, turning away from Firokami and toward the girl. He put his hands behind his head and half-lounged in a comfortable chair. "Savra, it's only in bad movies or the same bad books detectives consider their raison d'être* to catch a murderer. Or some maniac. Or whatever. But there won't be fewer maniacs, murderers or other criminals. Spending your life on one person is... something from the realm of erotic fantasies. What's that in psychology? Negative intimacy? Something like that.
"We're not living under socialism, or whatever Amiy calls it... something out of a book from a thousand years ago... the era of the outstretched hand or something. That's what he calls the communist utopian system," Han joined the conversation. "There, it is a natural goal, to catch and reeducate criminals. All of them. But we live in a world that breeds criminals. People have nowhere to go but to commit crimes. Didn't you learn sociology in high school?
"I did, that's why I don't understand why, if every Firokaman knows about the historical laws of society, why doesn't anyone make a better system?!"
"Because every Firokamian knows why it won't work," Rodon smirked, "no one wants to waste their lives. It's a thankless task. Where can we put all those perpetually disgruntled whiners? The bourgeois who can't get enough of anything."
"Well, maybe we could... teach..." Savra began.
"Well, now they teach everyone everything. So what? - Rodon smirked again. - Firokami simply obeys the laws of society as best he can without backsliding. The side effect, of course, is people thrown out of society. Who have nothing left but to find meaning in a life of crime.
"Even if they're psychotic, angry, evil morons. They have nowhere to go for treatment. There is no treatment. They understand how they're going to be treated, and they certainly don't want to be treated that way," Mergen said.
"So we're just relentless retribution. The psychos in Firokami just need to know that we're going to catch them anyway. That it's more expensive to commit crimes than not to. Today or tomorrow, we'll catch them."
Mergen sighed.
" But it's not worth it to worry about them, to stay up nights, to waste your nerves and your health, even your mood. Not only do they never end here, but they're in neighboring worlds, too. You catch one here, and he'll continue to shit right next to you, just one choice away."
"Then why are we working?" The girl asked.
"For their decisions."
Fadge smiled at the girl.
"Like the guys said, to make everyone realize that it's more expensive for them to commit a crime than not to. So the world doesn't get better from any work we will have done, but it gets better from the fact that we do it. You got that?
