My mind has changed direction in my opionion of how Caesar is running things. I fear the worst for Rome and being a Roman Citizen I feel obligated to take this matter into my own hands if neccesary. Caesar must not be crowned king for who knows what such power could transform a weak old man into. For Caesar is not all-powerfull as he states. Just recently me and Caesar did swim in the Tiber River while it was flooded. We pushed to fight the current to make our way to the other side. As I plunged further out into the raging torrents Caesar cried out to me from behind. He could not hold himself above the water and cried for me to help him. How could he be a God if I, mere Cassius, had to save him from death. Soon, I hope to save him from life.

I have placed much more of my thought into how I shall act upon my current situation. For If I merely walked up to Caeser himself and stabbed him I would not have time to plead my case before I would be slain. It will take much better planning and organization. Furthermore, I must gather some faithful men that I can depend on. I have already talked to Casca, Decius, and Cinna to join me in the fight to save Rome. More men must be gathered and hopefully not only lowly men. Noble Brutus has been on my mind as a possible addition to our party. If we could succeed in turning him, a noble citizen, against Caesar, we would have a better chance of our reasons being accepted by the people. Tomorrow I shall talk to Brutus about all of this. I can only hope he will see things my way.
Caius Cassius.
