Yes discord was a joke. And yes you may come to grief when finding a loved one l. The point is not to grieve but to be happy that you made that pony happy! Life will hold many disappointments yes but there will always be a brighter side in the future. As ruler of Equestria you must show courage, and determination no matter the consequences. I may not be that well known and I have been downed so much in the past but I've stayed to true to who I am and still keep on believing that there is always a better outcome. Just believe Princess Celestia. And if you ever lose faith in yourself believe in your subjects. Believe in me. For we will always believe in you.
