    I think that Morshu's ultimatum is very clear from this piece. In an echo of Morshu's Paradise, Morshu sings about his dilemma: should he profit from war and misery by selling arms to Link, or live an ethical life of poverty? While we know that Morshu's profiteering eventually helps free the people of Coridai, there's no way that he can really know how Link will use the bombs, rope and lamp oil he sells ("used for good or bad, I can't tell"). At best, Morshu can only trust in his own judgement of character, and nobody else's ("the system's fine as long as I head it"). We cannot count Morshu as without fault though. By his own admission he's blinded by greed ("gotta make money and never look back"), and while he attempts to justify it with a rags-to-riches story ("I got dealt a bad hand..."), it ultimately rings hollow ("rubies [...] they are my life"). Morshu stays up at night, and while he'd have us believe that his fears are purely business ("To have good sleep is a rarity [...] If I dip into the red I'll pack up"), it's clear that his true fear is in selling arms to the wrong person ("I need a customer to count on").
    Has Morshu truly become a monster? This is the tale of the Coridai Cretin.

      Fantastic analysis, though I would say, the "customer to count on" was more of a desperation to have a true friend amidst all the faces in the crowd in his shop

      "My way of life is frozen now...
      ""My friend sorry. Please come back...""
      ...cause' I can't quit. I don't know how..."
      That confirmation makes me feel a lot better to know his more "moral than corrupt" perceived inclination & makes me feel happier with deciding to donate rubies to the Morshu foundation. (Also, as someone starting my 1st year uni, best of luck Burnt Lamp)
      Although I prefer the more moral theory of Morshu, that's a really good analysis, Sanchezman. Good stuff.

      ​@burnt_lamp I figured that it was him needing a sense of financial safety, therefore asking for you to come back later (as he follows it with "a reliable person I can amount from")

      Morshu knows from bitter experience that if you get a reputation for lenience, people will only take advantage of you. He's known Link for a long time, and generally trusts him, but if you show favouritism, then where does it end? You can't give credit to everybody, so who's to judge that Link's sob story is more valid? At the same time, if you show callousness to your true friends, they may just as soon leave you behind. Link is a valuable repeat customer, and you want to be able to give him something he can't find anywhere else. So it's a balancing act. It's an ultimatum.

  • @jeffystreet
    @jeffystreet 4 місяці тому +4

    It feels like morshu is oftentimes portrayed as greedy, but here we see the reality that he's like all of us, just trying to get by in an expensive world where only those that can make a profit will survive..

  • @JM-cl7pl
    @JM-cl7pl Рік тому +109

    “Don’t lecture me on scripture- I’ve read it. ’To loan is to lose.’ Quote me, I’ve said it.”
    Easily the best line within this work. Morshu is aware of the apparent immorality within his work, as he’s read these scriptures, which is presumably referring to philosophical, or even religious text. However, although he agrees with the premise of the ethics, he finds himself disdaining those who subscribe to it, as he finds they misunderstand his situation and his moral code. He doesn’t hate those who cannot pay upfront, he just knows that, if he gives credit, he will inevitably fall. He believes that this is an important nuance which needs to be understood, and should be added on top of the base scriptures.

    • @JM-cl7pl
      @JM-cl7pl Рік тому +12

      Note the “it’s nice to be rich, but at the end of the day, as long as you have enough, it’s ok.” This further exemplifies the point made by the line discussed within the head comment. Morshu outright says it’s ok to only be scraping by- he knows the feeling. He just finds that it is best for him, his family, and even his customers that he becomes as rich as possible, without ruining his moral code. He can refuse credit without tainting his morals, as he believes it is not an immoral thing to do.

Seriously, well done on the lyrics on this one, there's some legitimately great lines here, and they're totally original if I'm not mistaken. The original doesn't even have lyrics. Fantastic.

      Lamp oil, rope, bombs, you want it?
      It's yours my friend, as long as you have enough rubies.
      Sorry Link, I can't give credit!
      Come back, come back, come back when you're a little-
      Lamp oil, burn up the turmoil
      One slip and I'm buried in the subsoil
      I sell bombs to keep me afloat
      But if I can't make money I'll sink my boat
      I have rope and it often sells well
      Used for good or bad, I can't tell
      But I don't care, cause if I get my pay
      I can open up and eat another day
      Gotta make money and never look back
      Ride on the train and keep it on track
      If I fall behind I just pick up the slack
      I got dealt a bad hand but it's not a bad pack
      I can't have debtors so I can't give credit
      The system's fine as long as I head it
      Don't lecture me on scripture - I've read it
      To loan is to lose - quote me, I've said it
      Rubies, the finest gems of them all
      They are my life and my port of call
      It's nice to be rich but at the end of the day
      As long as you have enough, it's ok
      The grind never stops - I can't get a fresh start
      Timings are tight so I gotta work smart
      Night and day are the same to me
      To have good sleep is a rarity
      Come back - I need a customer to count on
      A reliable person I can amount from
      I balance the books, but it's often no fable
      It's a horror story, and then I feel unstable
      If I dip into the red I'll pack up, cause its over
      I feel like every day I find a four leafed clover
      Cause I always find a way to turn a profit on my wares
      Too good to be true, but then again who cares
      Gotta make money and never look back
      Ride on the train and keep it on track
      If I fall behind I just pick up the slack
      I got dealt a bad hand but it's not a bad pack
      I can't have debtors so I can't give credit
      The system's fine as long as I head it
      Don't lecture me on scripture - I've read it
      To loan is to lose - quote me, I've said it
