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.

[pandorabox]

I think we already established that you're a crazy brat. Moving along happily now~

[petmysnakes.livejournal.com]

It is liberating.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

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

[petmysnakes.livejournal.com]

Mmm. This community lacks intelligent women. You seem to be one of the few.

[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]

Precisely.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

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

[anti-existent.livejournal.com]

I honestly don't understand how people can get such contentment from making "friends" or anything of the like. It's a waste of time.

[maraich]

Without my son, my brothers or my friends I wouldn't want to live.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It seems to be a largely pointless endeavor, true.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... You do realize that that sounds a bit pathetic, don't you?

[anti-existent.livejournal.com]

I wonder how long it will take for them to realize that 'friends' and 'allies' don't always mean the same thing.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Agreed. I have many allies- most of which are expendable.

[maraich]

So says the person who just posted a poll asking how someone feels about her.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It was a research poll, and very unrelated to this.

[anti-existent.livejournal.com]

I'd say the same for my co-workers. And I live with the fact that apparently, I am expendable as well.

If you're willing to use others, it's best to be aware that you're likely being used as well.

[maraich]

I can see how much you don't care by the way you research things you don't care about.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I am far from expendable- and I don't allow myself to be used.

[knifeurrib.livejournal.com]

Azula, you're being ironic.

Since you berate me constantly for not caring enough.

[anti-existent.livejournal.com]

Is that so? And what makes you so high on the food chain?

[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.
