[there is the sound of footsteps and quiet breathing, as Rinoa walks through Xanadu. It continues for a few moments, before she comes to a standstill]

...do you think that, if somebody has power, it's a reason to fear them? To hate them?

Maybe if they misuse it---but what if they can't control it?

Power is magnificent, but entirely worthless without being able to harness it as you please.

[ange_de_voeux]

But sometimes it's hard to find a way to harness it.

[virgocentric]

Even so, something like that is dangerous. It's the wielder's responsibility to learn how to use it; being difficult is no excuse.

[ange_de_voeux]

Dangerous...

I guess so. [okay, that makes a lot of sense, she thinks. annnd somebody probably needed to say it like that, too]

Ehh?? The power should be for the people and from the people!

lol this concept confuses her

[ange_de_voeux]

For the people... from the people?

=(

The ruler or leaders must reign with the people's best interests. The world is made by them and they are the ones that sustain their power.

only because she wasn't thinking down that track 8)

You mean political power-

Oh. I see what you mean! People... tend to abuse power like that more, don't they? But even with them oppressing people, it's possible to change that! Fighting for that kind of power is good. Like with our resistance faction...
