To the members of this community,

I am certain that everyone is aware of the importance in the entity of power. Logically, a certain amount of strength is necessary for survival.

However, history has proven many instances where people have succumbed to their greed of acquiring too much power. They can be easily led down the wrong path, and then left wandering around in the eternal darkness of their own creation. Power that exceeds reasonable limitations would likely cause fear and discontentment amongst many of the bystanders affected by the carrier.

And yet, in spite of knowing these dangers, people continue to have the desire to become stronger, and some pursue their goal relentlessly, regardless of the possible consequences.

Those of you that may have been affected by, or even experienced this ordeal, what would you be willing to risk, and perhaps even relinquish completely, in the pursuit of power? How does one decide which point is appropriate to stop?

Signed,
Gaara of the Desert

Then pay them. Unless you are unable to?

[anarchy-in-ny.livejournal.com]

Don't have the money, just enough to cover the necessities.

[fifth-kazekage.livejournal.com]

You should seek better employment.

[anarchy-in-ny.livejournal.com]

Small time philosophy professors no prospects are hard to find jobs for.

[fifth-kazekage.livejournal.com]

So there are very few schools in your world?

[anarchy-in-ny.livejournal.com]

No, they just already have professors.

[fifth-kazekage.livejournal.com]

Hmm. We don't have teachers in Suna with your area of interest.

[anarchy-in-ny.livejournal.com]

We're a rare breed.

[fifth-kazekage.livejournal.com]

...I don't understand. If there are so few of you, then you should have more value as an instructor, and therefore be needed, correct?

[anarchy-in-ny.livejournal.com]

Well more accurately we are a dying breed, hunted to extinction.

[fifth-kazekage.livejournal.com]

Hunted? By whom?

[anarchy-in-ny.livejournal.com]

That was sarcasm, you aren't good at people skills are you?

[fifth-kazekage.livejournal.com]

...No. I'm sorry.

I am still in the process of learning social interaction.

[anarchy-in-ny.livejournal.com]

Ah, now problem. Everyone has their own foibles.

[fifth-kazekage.livejournal.com]

How do you intend to resolve your financial situation?

[anarchy-in-ny.livejournal.com]

Well bar winning the lottery, unlikely since I never buy tickets, I'm not.

[fifth-kazekage.livejournal.com]

Mmm. It makes me uneasy to think of others suffering.

[anarchy-in-ny.livejournal.com]

Who said anything about suffering?

[fifth-kazekage.livejournal.com]

You are lacking adequate and sufficient supplies for survival. Do you need assistance?

[anarchy-in-ny.livejournal.com]

Sufficient supplies for... Dude, its only electricity.

[fifth-kazekage.livejournal.com]

I would imagine it is difficult to navigate through your house without lighting.

[anarchy-in-ny.livejournal.com]

I have the moon, and the street light outside.

[fifth-kazekage.livejournal.com]

The moon? Mmm. I enjoy going outside at night to gaze upon the full moon.

[anarchy-in-ny.livejournal.com]

Woah, not a werewolf or something are you?

[fifth-kazekage.livejournal.com]

Excuse me? No. I am a ninja.
