Morally Bankrupt

Does it really matter?

On the one hand being manipulative hurts people, and therefore must be a "sin."

On the other hand, if you're not happy, you're hurting yourself, which constitutes hurting people, which is a "sin."

Either way you're flogged.

Since when did "sins" come into the picture? The questoin is if you have to choose between trying to protect someone else at your expense, or protect yourself and risk hurting them, who gets put on the line?

Re: Morally Bankrupt

I'd never put someone else on the line. But that might just be me and my f-ed up sense of honor or whatever.

but can you handle the pain that it would entail, and be able to hide it from people close to you?

Re: Morally Bankrupt

[spiriteddryad]

I'm always in pain from that sort of thing. Constantly. I'm used to it.

Re: Morally Bankrupt

yes but can you hide it, is the the trick. this is where I am having snaggs.

Re: Morally Bankrupt

[spiriteddryad]

Well I don't know. Hide what?

The pain. If they see it then you cannot protect them because they worry and make you talk about things. I need to work on my poker face.

Re: Morally Bankrupt

[spiriteddryad]

Well maybe that's what you'll have to do then.

I suppose, however seeing as how I donnot have any hangups on the other party being the hurt one, as I am very self-caring, I still have to decide what to do with this poker face of mine. It would generally inclinate to me that if you are using a poker face, you are porbably screwing someone else over. I will think on it.
