I've noticed something... why is everyone so filled with hate today?

...if this is one of those curses, I don't like it. Why would they bring out all the negative emotions of a person? I mean...I know that we all have our own feelings... our own Spiria that can be troublesome. We may not understand each other, and in that uneasiness, maybe we do end

This sounds familiar.

Spiria?

[weaponofheart]

...really?

Yeah... it's a term we use in our world that describes a person's heart and their emotions.

[notflynn]

Interesting.

Guess it saves you an extra couple of syllables. But I get the feeling a person's heart and emotions are a little more important in your world to have its own special name.

[weaponofheart]

Yeah...

They are... in our world, the strength of our Spiria is connected to how strong we are mentally. And it's alo connected to my Soma, too -- it's called Asteria.

[imperialwill]

I'm glad that none of you were affected.

Though- it's rather charming, I think, that the three of you would speak so strongly about this.

[weaponofheart]

Yeah...

Because, really, hatred really doesn't solve anything! All it does is cause more conflict and breeds more hatred.

[imperialwill]

Yes, but you all also realize it's a curse, and still you persist.

[weaponofheart]

Because even if a curse can be reversed, the words you say during them can't.

[Surprisingly deep for someone who's not that tactful.]

[weaponofheart]

Yeah... if this is what the curses do, I don't want them to happen to me.

Hatred doesn't solve anything, really.

[weaponofheart]

Really? But I thought all curses were bad? Auu... I feel like I'm repeating myself...

Wow... I'm sorry to hear that. I don't know if I could handle growing up in a world like that.

[weaponofheart]

Yeah... hatred's not really going to do much good in the long-run.

[weaponofheart]

Yeah... I've seen what happens when people get consumed with hate. They hurt themselves, and the ones they're close to...

I don't want people to make that mistake.

[innocentxcharm]

I don't like hating stuff either. What's a spiria though?

[weaponofheart]

Yeah...

Spiria's what we call a person's heart and emotions in my world.

[innocentxcharm]

Ooh. Does that mean I've got that too? It's a funny word.

[weaponofheart]

Yeah! It may be called different names, but it's still all the same thing, if you think about it.

Really? It's a normal word in my world.
