I wonder how people who are obviously not bad people, can renounce feelings they so obviously display. I guess if it's normal to do so, it doesn't seem odd.

I wonder if there are any magic books in the library.

Some people aren't comfortable displaying their feelings. I don't think it has anything to do with 'good or bad.'

[guardianofman]

I understand that much, I've just never experienced someone who so vehemently tries to insist they don't need any of the positive emotions, yet was not a horrible person out to cause harm.

[mizu_isei]

It's probably a conflict inside themselves, somewhere. They might change their mind if you're patient.

[guardianofman]

Oh I understand. I guess what I meant was just, I'm not used to running into such people, so it's interesting to meet those outside my frame of reference.

[fail_assassin]

People have their reasons.

They might not always be the best ones, but they're important enough to change them.

[guardianofman]

They do, and it's important to understand their reasons. Though, at the same time, it doesn't hurt to try and bring out the good things people bury down inside them.

I would love to get to know everyone better, there are so many worlds represented, there's no reason to not see how others are. Especially on things I take for granted.

[fail_assassin]

Of course. Understanding their reasons is half the battle, to try and understand their heart. Once you can do that, then you can find a way to bring out love that people try to bury deep down inside themselves.

I think that's a wonderful wish, Lute.

[guardianofman]

If only everyone could have love hidden deep down like that.

Isn't it only natural to want to get to know people better?

[witchoftheweek]

I have found little evidence that there is anything genuinely magic in the library. Besides what I have enchanted myself.

[guardianofman]

Oh, that's a pity. I was really looking forward to reading about magic from other worlds.

[witchoftheweek]

Indeed.

[guardianofman]

Well, even if there aren't any now, maybe some will show up. If you find any strange texts, can you tell me? I would love to look at them.

[fauxsaint]

It's become far too natural for people to be willing to hide their true feelings. It's very... saddening.

[guardianofman]

It is. I think if we were all more open, we could learn to get along better, and find that we aren't all so different from one another.

[fauxsaint]

I agree whole-heartedly. Though some people put up walls because they've been hurt before...

[guardianofman]

Which is sad, but I understand. Maybe one day people won't have to worry about such things.
