I can't be the only one here who sees the value in lacking emotional attachment. For those of you who don't- most of you, I'm assuming- try to think about what it would be like. You'd never have to answer to anyone else, or do something that you didn't want to do, or explain yourself at all. You wouldn't have to think about how your most trivial words or actions would affect a person or a group of people, and you wouldn't have to worry about them hurting or limiting you in any way. Even the traditional obligations of family would be obsolete if you simply didn't care.

It sounds liberating, doesn't it?

There'd be no reason to live like that. Being alone is the worst thing of all.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Oh, please. Are you honestly saying that your only joy in life comes from other people?

[pandorabox]

No.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I believe we've already established that you're a pathetic weakling. Move along, now.

[petmysnakes.livejournal.com]

It is liberating.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear that someone sees things my way.

[anti-existent.livejournal.com]

You're not alone in this. I'm well aware of many more people who feel the same way. Although they wouldn't make it so public, it's obvious how they have limited, if any, attatchment to anyone or anything in this world.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Yes, I've already spoken to one who agrees with me.

[knifeurrib.livejournal.com]

Azula, you're being ironic.

Since you berate me constantly for not caring enough.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You misunderstand- I berate you for not having goals. I've never admonished you for not caring about people.

Your attachment to my failure of a brother is pathetic, by the way.

[sunao-punch.livejournal.com]

I don't care about you people. Just Yoru!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm well aware of your pathetic obsession. Go away.

[roseandsparkle.livejournal.com]

But it wouldn't be as fun!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

On the contrary- it's quite fun.

[the-air-corsair.livejournal.com]

It's a horrible, crushing loneliness. To turn away others, to block them out of your heart, will only create a gaping hole. An undefinable need that swallows you up, tainting your mind and body.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

That's not what I experienced.

[hotpinkaura.livejournal.com]

...

It sounds lonely.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... It wasn't. Not at that point, anyway.

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

Having friends is better than being alone.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Hm, so you say.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Until you stumble, and there's nobody to catch you. Make even the slightest misstep and you fall.

I'd rather not be in that position again.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I don't stumble. I don't misstep.

[bright-mirror.livejournal.com]

It does sound easier in some ways, but... There's joy in caring, and being cared for. I think that's worth some difficulty.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. Perhaps not. It all depends on the present moment.

[TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY ANON OMG]

[samuraiprosecutor]

It used to.

Re: [TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY ANON OMG]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

What, it doesn't anymore?

[dramadramadorf.livejournal.com]

Emotional attachment is irrelevant, I answer to no one.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Precisely my point.

[thricedeadwind.livejournal.com]

Such sentiments create monsters of men.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Your point?

[redprototype.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan to me.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

A plan? I don't quite get your meaning.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Am I correct in assuming that you have experienced this, too?

[createdpower.livejournal.com]

It is ideal.

[canhaswrenchpls.livejournal.com]

i couldn't work with my machines if i didn't care about them. you need passion to be a genius.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

But you care about your machines as objects, not as "people", correct? After all, it's not as if they have feelings for you to consider.

[nonoise.livejournal.com]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

If you didn't care, then you wouldn't be lonely.

[edlaffsatyou.livejournal.com]

If our kind didn't look out for one another, there would be few of us left. Most kinds operate this way.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

So you are weak.
