Challenge: What is your favourite guilty indulgence?
Cross-posted to theatrical_muse
Well, to begin with, guilt is not an emotion that concerns me. It is itself a foolish indulgence of mortals, along with love, forgiveness, and compassion. If I wish to do a thing, I do it; I may come to regret the consequences, but never the act, else why should I have pursued it in the first instance?
*Shakes his head at the folly of mortals*
But indulgence... hmmm. That concept I do understand, but I have had to think long and hard to determine whether there is ought that I indulge in. I have decided that it must be this! Endless hours spent watching the little lives of others in my Orb, and engaging them in conversation, often to no purpose other than my immediate amusement. Although I do nurture plans, most of the engagements I make (and break) within this metaphysical realm lead to no tangible gain; no enemies slain, no treasure gained, my belly unfilled, my kingdom unwon. Therefore what can I be doing here, in passing my time so unprofitably, but indulging myself?
As, if you were all truthful about it, are we all.
