SHAY: You're a builder?
ARCHAMEDES: Yes.
SHAY: What do you build?
ARCHAMEDES: Usual stuff. Bridges, buildings, minds, suns.
SHAY: That's a little more than usual stuff. Not too many folks I know build minds and suns.
ARCHAMEDES: Angels do it all the time. Its actually quite fun.
SHAY: It sounds like it. Why is that?
ARCHAMEDES: The creation process is just so enjoyable. Being a part of the growth of existence is just so invigorating. I wouldn't want any other job there is.
SHAY: How many jobs are there?
ARCHAMEDES: Enough.
SHAY: Is there one out there for everybody that wants one?
ARCHAMEDES: Well, you have to earn them you know.
SHAY: How does one go about earning one?
ARCHAMEDES: C'mon, get to a real question already.
SHAY: Seriously, I want to know how a being is able to earn a certain job...
ARCHAMEDES: You just ask for it.
SHAY: That's it?
ARCHAMEDES: Yeah, you ask God for it.
SHAY: And He always gives it to you? Just like that?
ARCHAMEDES: No...it takes a great deal of asking sometimes. I've seen beings ask for jobs for eternities and still not get one.
SHAY: Wow, God is kind of fickle, huh?
ARCHAMEDES: You could say that, but he also doesn't want a moron doing an important job, you know?
SHAY: Makes sense. So where on the totem pole is the job of "Builder"?
ARCHAMEDES: Somewhere in the middle.
SHAY: How do you rank compared with a destroyer?
ARCHAMEDES: A destroyer is actually pretty low.
SHAY: Really?!? Why is that?
ARCHAMEDES: It doesn't take much effort to wipe something out. But it takes a LOT of skill and knowledge to create something from nothing.
SHAY: Hmm...never thought of it that way. So what is next on your list of things to build?
ARCHAMEDES: An arena.
SHAY: Where and for whom?
ARCHAMEDES: I can't tell you where, but I can tell you that those who use this arena are blessed in the eyes of God.
SHAY: Thanks!
