It's interesting to a woman of my age how many of you here are willing to go out of your way to be altruistic in this place, and how many of you go out with the intention of making true friends, or even romantic, stable relationships. By all means, act in the moment and with passion, but realize that you're doing it because you lack faithAll of

You've already learned your lessons, Eden.

[hathborne]

The definition we are using is meaningful, on a larger scale. A man I once knew used to tell me that we could either live lives of happiness or lives of meaning.

I'm over sixty years old now and I am tempted to believe him.

Maybe acting in the moment shows how much faith we have in the people we have relationships with.

[hathborne]

You would be surprised at how little we know about the people we put faith in, sweetheart.

[1inageneration]

Everyone's got secrets.

So you think that because we won't remember this, it makes it less than real?

[hathborne]

Everyone has lies.

I think that memory is a very tricky subject, but this is more that I feel that certain of us need to decide whether we want to live in the moment or live for things beyond our own lifetimes.

Can't have our cake and eat it too.

Mom...

You know you can Claire will always be my first priority.

[hathborne]

I don't think that family has ever been your first priority, Peter. But that's alright. Your mother has always been able to handle herself.

[totallyyourhero]

Just because I didn't always do what you and dad wanted me to doesn't mean I don't place family first.

If you need help though, you'll let me know?

[hathborne]

Of course it doesn't. Nathan never did what your father wanted him too either, but that was never the reason he didn't put his family first.

Better late than never of course, Peter dear.

[princess_crow]

Hmpf. This place is very real. Thank you.

[hathborne]

By who's definition, sweetheart?

[princess_crow]

By mine, madam, which is good enough to me. Perhaps I am not a woman of your age, but I've lived in a world where what fiction and what is real makes no difference at all.

[hathborne]

And you're welcome to it, darling, but frankly I don't care. You're not my family and you're not my concern.

[adamantined]

That's not true.

[hathborne]

Which part, Claire dear? It's good to start out with specifics, otherwise there is a lack of communication in our communication.

[adamantined]

Having a relationship with people here doesn't mean that you lack faith. And this place is very real.

[hathborne]

Tell me, Claire, do you want to leave?
