This community brings a lot of people together from a lot of different worlds. In time, sometimes in not very much time, friendships are made across worlds.

But...say you made friends with someone, and then you found out something bad about them. Something that made you question ever talking to them in the first place. How would you feel? What would you do?

I'm sorry if this is something you would rather not talk about or if it brings up painful memories. But I think I need some perspective on something and this is the best option I have.

Nnnn... Probably. I guess it'd have to huh?

[fans_fire]

Well I don't know...I mean, it makes sense in theory but sometimes people don't make sense.

[material_guy]

Damn right they don't... Still. If you wanted to take it out on them 'cause what they did's that bad, you'd probably know that, right? If it was some kinda sense of justice thing...

[fans_fire]

I don't know if it's that, exactly. I guess I just don't really understand.

[material_guy]

That's all right, inn't it? Just pay it back and hit 'em and hit 'em and hit 'em again 'till it don't feel good anymore. That's how feelings work. It doesn't matter if they don't make any damn sense, they're there. You gotta satisfy 'em 'till they go away.

[fans_fire]

Really? Even if that leads to something bad?

[material_guy]

If they think yer the one whose feelings're bad, let 'em try 'n hit back! Slug it out 'till your both satisfied! Shit, if they just quietly take it, then they don't give a shit about you, so it'd be even more important to take it all out and be done with 'em!

[fans_fire]

...I don't think that's always true.

[material_guy]

Wouldn't it piss you off if someone important to you just pretended to be okay with everything all the time like nothin' you did mattered? If you don't make someone deal with yer feelings, it's the same as not having none.

[fans_fire]

It's not always that simple. And I don't think it's always fair to make someone deal with feelings that you don't even understand yourself.

[material_guy]

That's the good thing about this method! You don't gotta understand a thing! All you gotta know is that you got a problem!

[fans_fire]

...Maybe. I don't think I should rush into doing anything, but I'll think about it.
