Tenth Missive

These boxes are quite strange contraptions indeed. One press of the button, and wondrous events can occur...at a cost. Everyone seems to have an opinion as to the nature of the boxes and what one should do with one's own box

It is, of course a difficult ethical question. But it is a personal one.

[uxoriousemperor]

That is precisely my point. You are as ever very observant, Sisi.

I am amused by those trying to make the decision for others.

[uxoriousemperor]

One can seek advice on such matters, but the decision must rest with the individual. Having someone make a decision for you is cowardly or ignorant, depending on the mentality of the person allowing such a thing to occur.

We are, on this, in agreement. But I am... amused by the people telling everyone to turn their boxes in to them. As if that is the only right thing to do.

Many people deal in absolutes, Sisi, as we both know. The trouble with that is that one person's absolute is often completely at odds with another's absolute. One must be willing to acknowledge another point of view exists and is valid, even if one does not agree with it.

I feel we would be in agreement on many things, if we were able to speak more frequently.
