Whether a man is a criminal or a hero is a matter of perspective.

But if you don't want to play your role anymore, and are removed from your motivation for being who you are, what do you do? Do you seek redemption and rehabilitation and transform as an individual, or do you repeat negative behavior? How much do you believe people change only because they are imPorted? In short, do you believe people can change?

If I had anybody willing to discuss this in private with me, I assure you, I'd not be raising the issue publically.

Thank you in advance.

I was actually thinking unemployed but the two sort of go together.

[restingstitchface]

You say that like you're familiar with the experience.

Whether I am employed or not is unrelated to the question, you know.

[acclimatized]

I am. Was. Overqualified and all that.

I know it's not. But when I'm unemployed, I don't poll a network of people with philosophical questions. I usually just watch a lot of crap telly.

[restingstitchface]

Oh.

That's no good at all. You should get out more.

[Doctor's advice!]

[acclimatized]

I could say the same for you.

[restingstitchface]

Amusing. But don't worry about every little thing. You have nothing left to worry about with me.

[acclimatized]

I don't even know who you are. I can probably guess though. Misplaced something lately?

[restingstitchface]

No.

I lost some tools a short while ago, but they were replaced pretty easily.

[acclimatized]

Real shame that. You should be more careful with your personal stuff. Sew your name on the label like in primary school.

[restingstitchface]

Funny. I can only imagine how this must be amusing for you.

[acclimatized]

I'd like to think of it a learning curve. Except it doesn't really seem like a beacon of all knowledge and wisdom, so I still think you made the whole thing up.

[restingstitchface]

If I had, would I waste my time indulging people by answering them?

[Answer: nope.]

[acclimatized]

Yes? I'm starting to think you like the sound of your own voice.

[restingstitchface]

What an original allegation for a post made entirely in the written word, doctor.

[acclimatized]

Only because most people here won't give you the time of day anymore. If I knew this was you, I wouldn't have replied.

[restingstitchface]

I see.

Don't let me stop you quitting, then.
