Seth acknowledges his reputation as the god of evil and negativity, but argues this does not define his whole being. He asserts that like all beings, both divine and mortal, he has positive and negative aspects. Seth claims his evil nature was due to the circumstances of his birth and that there is a precious jewel concealed within his dark character. He argues that as the son of Ra, he deserves veneration and the throne left by his brother Osiris, rather than his nephew Horus. Seth asks the reader to reflect on his perspective and hear him out rather than judging him solely on ancient accounts that do not consider his positive side or rights as a member of Ra's bloodline.

To you, my noble reader:
Carpe Diem!
I am Seth. Yes! I may be the god of all evils. I may be the god
of drought that gives negativity to the human race. I may also
be the idol of resentment. Indeed, I accept these accusations
thrown upon me. Perhaps, I am not worthy of emulation and honor.
I may be worthy to be flung in the raging flood of Nile River.
But I still affirm that these do not define my whole being;
these titles do not imply the whole me.
In both divine and mortal abode, everyone is like a coin or the
face of Janus. We showcase two personae, two sides—brilliance
and dim.
To you who may decode each word of this letter; who may read
between and beyond the lines it presents, please allow me to
express my sentiments. My evil nature is just a “virtue-of-no-
choice”. I am born this way and I can do nothing against it.
However, like the black diamonds in Africa, I still believe that
there is a precious jewel inside my dark characters. This jewel
shines in great brilliance but is concealed by several
negativities you thought of me.
Though the annals of time speak (through oral and written
records) that I am not worthy for the throne that Osiris left, I
oppose such. With double exclamation marks, I assert that I am a
worthy heir of such cathedra. My dear, please remember that I am
also a son of Ra who created this sphere where mortal denizens
live. Why would they take my birthright? Horus is just a son of
Osiris and since the latter ceased from living, I concede that I
deserve the same veneration and adoration. Even Ra affirms it.

2. In the matter of killing Osiris, I believe that it was due to
emotional circumstances and belief that I also have the right
for superiority. It seems to be unfair for because I am his
brother in the first hand. Greatly venerated, his name is always
stated in prayers. And nothing remains for me. I just have
become a dust carried by the wind—no enough power and is not
given importance.
Like a member of the panel of verity, please stay away from
fraudulence and deleterious impressions about me. The Ancient
Egyptian Chronicles’ accounts do not give my positive side. They
do not consider my right as someone who belong to the bloodline
of god Ra. Please reflect on my thoughts.
Kindly hear me like a chilling wind that blows after a whistle,
not like a stone that does nothing but sits in the ashes. Please
favor me!
Seize the day!
With utmost sincerity,
Seth
