Some people can look at emotional bonds and see ways they can hurt you. "Do this or I'll hurt the one you love!" It's something like that.

That's screwed up.

Re: Discussion.

[theriverlethe]

Some people are very screwed up.

Re: Discussion.

[plotluck]

I don't think it counts then.

Re: Discussion.

[theriverlethe]

No... but it's still a matter of perspective.

Re: Discussion.

[plotluck]

I might not be good at perspective.

Re: Discussion.

[theriverlethe]

I don't think you need to be good at that kind of perspective.

Re: Discussion.

[plotluck]

I don't think I want to be.

A weakness when it's exploited by others, sure. And it's an awful thing to do to anyone. But ... I think personally, I'd rather care about a person and be ready for the pain that comes with pretty much everything you feel.

In the end, the strong person isn't the one stooping so low to use something like that. Sure, they might "win," but they're really the ones losing so much more.

I don't disagree, actually. A person without such ties is alone, for good or for ill.

I'm Rook, by the way. Let's do our best together, okay?

I'm Lethe, and I think that sounds like a good idea.
