*Spoilers* Anyone feel joining Emet would have been better

Accepting the transience of all things is a very hard thing to do, but very important for finding true happiness (because happiness doesn't last forever, and it takes effort to achieve).

As we see in Elpis, the Ancients were more than happy to accept the transience of their own lives and return to the star once they felt they had lived a fulfilling life.

Hermes decided to judge all the Ancients based on his own arbitrary standards, and Emet-Selch later decided to judge all the Sundered (including his own comrades like the Sundered Ascians and Lahabrea) by his own arbitrary standards.

And then Venat decided to judge all the Ancients according to her own arbitrary standard as well.
