Sanguine Bond.

"Blood is constant. Every drop I drink, someone must bleed."
—Vradeen, vampire nocturnus

And so it is. I tried pretty hard for a while and I really couldn't think of anything that one would succeed at without someone else paying the price for it. Against morals imbued within the stream of consciousness, we probably wouldn't do anything blatantly self-absorbed but to differing extents, every moment of our happiness is built upon others' misery to a certain degree. Its more a matter of scarcity really, that everything is limited. Whatever you have, someone else in the world will lack. Whatever you give, someone in the world will be unable to receive.

Y'know those melodramatic outbursts in movies and stuff, "have you got no heart?" I wonder what would it be if the villain would say, "if I had a heart, it would be wrangled, tortured, broken and I would be the one being victimized, asking that very same question to people. And I have no idea what they would say." What would it be, if the only thing that governs what you do, is what you allow yourself to do? What would it be, if morals were not decided by someone else, but by you? I think you'd quickly realise that to adequately take that role, you'll have to have no heart. There would be no room for emotions, no happiness or sadness. That way you don't strive for them and you don't fit into the scarcity chain. Its the only way you would stop sucking someone else's blood dry. And if morals were signed on a pact in blood, then it wouldn't be right at all would it?

I believe in a Creator. I don't believe he/she/it is compassionate. I think such an entity has to be incapable of feeling. We are the sanguine bond between life and each other.

Haven't been doing much these days. And despite looming exams, that's actually good news. But come next week, more administrative and medical appointments. And I've yet to collect my phone from repair. On a more recreational note, I've yet to complete my warp world revolution, nor manage to find time for an adequate magic session with jay. And the room's in a mess. Zetalambmary looks abandoned. Yeah, I reckon this short-lived peace comes at a pretty huge price. There's a sanguine bond on a single body affected through the time-space continuum.

What crap am I spouting XD.
