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.

He is a man who attracts people. Be that as it may, I understand the uniqueness of your experience. Though my connection is not with your friend in particular.

He attracts some people and scares others away.

Who are you connected to?

[restingstitchface]

Now, now. I'll tell you my secret if you tell me yours.

[In private, of course.]

[am_i_a_monster]

I've already told you some things.

[restingstitchface]

So you have. And since my mother raised me a gentleman, I'll remind you that I commented I don't break a confidence.

Suffice to say, I feel intense curiosity for a man who uses superstition as a weapon against those who don't understand it's power. His methods are fascinating!

[am_i_a_monster]

So many things can be weapons against people who are trusting.

I suspect the people affected by him, wouldn't find it so fascinating.

[restingstitchface]

Most people don't possess the capacity to endure and understand such methods, honestly. Human minds can be disappointingly weak.

[am_i_a_monster]

You'd be surprised at what people can endure when they have to. You can learn to live with almost anything.

[restingstitchface]

Or anyone.

[He finishes. He sends another message.]

It's good manners to thank people for their time, so thank you for yours.

[am_i_a_monster]

That's very true.

You're welcome.
