Extract

Extract from "The Crippled God" Steven Erikson Things were simple, really. There's only so much a soldier can do, only so much a soldier needs to think about at any one time. Pile on too much and their knees start shaking, their eyes glaze over, and they start looking around for something to kill. Because killing simplifies. It's called an elimination of distractions. *I really loved that last line. It is a good reminder to not over-complicate matters. Keep it simple and take things one step at a time.
