Do you think that it's possible for people to be inherently bad? Not all the way, necessarily, but like maybe there's a bigger chance of messing up if you come from something bad, or like you've got some kind of latent seed planted deep that could burst someday.

I don't think that's true, if you look at it objectively. It still makes me really nervous sometimes, though, so I wonder if some part of me thinks it's a real possibility. I can't shake it off, so I get frustrated with myself sometimes.

I'm sure other people must feel like that. I'm sorry if you do.

No. I never met him. Maybe it's not right to say I'm afraid of him. It might actually be more of a legacy thing, even if I feel like I don't know enough for it to fully qualify.

He controls people, though, and nobody really knows it. I think that makes him a scary person.

It's true. Controlling people without their knowledge is a terrifying ability.

You said you had the same ability?

[fridgeflower]

Yes. I don't use it in the same way, but sometimes it's hard to see it as anything but bad.

[goldenlegacy]

I can understand that. I personally believe it's a matter of perspective.

There is no ability that is inherently "bad," after all. These things depend on use.
