To those of us who see past the surface of the ice, perhaps, but not to those still dancing upon it.
Ignorant of the depths beneath their feet, or aware but afraid to break past for fear of drowning.
It exists as peace exists: it's a lie. How to see beyond? Break THROUGH, embrace "sin", fall in.
Discover what you were TOLD is "bad" isn't truly so bad, realize it's an illusion, a deception.
Embracing the inverse of a learned paradigm is an effective step towards seeing beyond it.
And of course, it IS still a thing for you and me, isn't it. You may not buy into it, true.
That doesn't mean those who don't can avoid dealing with those who do, who are still trapped.
Or that we can't invite, persuade, entice, and encourage them to see through the illusion.
This isn't a reflection of my morality, it's an encouragement for others to look past theirs.
You seem to be implying it doesn't *exist*...? Is that moral relativism you're espousing?
Or subjectivism? Or something else entirely? Relativism has no solidity, it's rudderless.
And if so, how do you justify having or living by any consistent values, like passion?
Or strength, or power, or winning, or freedom? Or selfishness, or dominance, or self?
You don't make value judgments as a Sith? You don't DECIDE what is or isn't "right"?
I think you do
... "You do not possess the patience, the power or the wisdom to ever approach me with any sort of masterful hand. You are the mouse that thinks it is a mongoose. You squeek big and want to be seen as the mongoose but you also know that you are just a mouse that must stay away from the cobra or become her dinner." You seem to value being the mongoose over the mouse, and you seem to value patience, wisdom, and mastery.
Anyways, the invitation to sin is to the trapped, to step towards freedom.
To us it's not exactly "real", but to others it is - and perception is reality.
Guiding the trapped out of the trap requires they
realize they are trapped.
Hard to break out if you don't even know you're caged, and many don't.
This was, and is, for those who know something's off about their morals...
...for those who are just starting to question the confines of good
and evil.
When they realize good is a lie they often begin by exploring the flip side.
They still believe it's a two sided equation, and must work through that.
Also worth noting... you don't use the word "sin", but you judge many to be the equivalent of "sinful".
When
trying to ruffle my feathers you implied
I was - essentially - a terrible sinner in your eyes....
You view cowardice as a "sin", and failure, and fear, and lack of control, and lots of other things.
Seems despite your remark, sin is VERY much a thing for you. You sure there's "no such thing"?
In your spats with Kurai and the Jedi who popped up recently, you judged them "sinful" too.
"When I was a sith, I hated women"
You are a fucking cunt!!!! You are everything Wrong with this community!!! You fucking asshole!!! OmG I can't even.... Express in words the loathing I have for this.... FUCK!!
That's your judgment of this Jedi, no? And there are reams of examples of what you think of Kurai...
According to you I'm a vampire, Kurai is a rat, and this Jedi is a mouse... right or wrong, we "bad" to you.
You use different words but it's essentially the same as a Christian going off on (perceived) non-believers.
Same as a Jihadist explaining why Christians and Jews are evil and need to be wiped out of existence...
I think your perception of me is intensely clouded by past experiences that have nothing to do with me.
Seems you ought to take those criticisms to Luciana, or Miles, or someone else they might truly apply to.
They seem to be the ones foremost on your mind with these diatribes of yours, and you barely know me.
Shots in the dark, feeling around for an angle of attack, a vulnerability, a lever to pull, button to push...
But that's beside the point. What I'm getting at is simply this:
you are making value judgments too.
Engaging in a thing you just said isn't a thing. I'm wondering... how do you square that contradiction?
