Why are you guys so into this whither stuff? It's a picture I can't make out with an animated tear falling. I really don't get the tear, especially. First it was the commie flag and now it's whither... Silly boys.... |

Ok, well as an example this is pythagoras who is shedding a tear because Delirium's Brother made the claim that neo-pythagorean mystics are not in fact truly atheist. Thus, "whither neo-pythagorean mysticism".
Hope this helps!  |

Originally mine was my avatar, but that didn't really make sense, it was like Sparkles' gato or something, meaningless. But now I have the Great Cthulhu weeping before an American flag. This symbolises the sad fact that the worship of the Great Old One does not seem to be as popular as Christianity. Whither the One True Faith? |

Thus, it is important to understand that the time/aspect reference of 'whither' here is present perfect, not future simple. |
