Why would I disappear? She vanished from my world, so I vanished from hers? But they're not supposed to be connected; things aren't supposed to affect each other like that.

This is wrong.

... Do any of you even make plans for what would happen if you or one of your... one of your associates disappeared? Or do you just ignore the fact that it could happen?

Because you never know how something like that will affect you until it happens.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You can if you know yourself.

[ofhopeandglory.livejournal.com]

I beg to differ.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Just because you don't know yourself doesn't mean everyone else is the same.

[ofhopeandglory.livejournal.com]

I know myself perfectly well, thank you. My point is that every time something like that happens, it's different. You don't just stay the same as time goes on, and quite apart from that the people involved won't be the same either.

... That sort of thing is exactly why people shouldn't have to deal with "feelings". They're needlessly complicated.

[ofhopeandglory.livejournal.com]

I'll admit that they're a thorn in the side at times. But if no one had them, then I'm not entirely sure what we would have.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Why would we need something to replace them?

[ofhopeandglory.livejournal.com]

You're proud of the Fire Nation, aren't you? Pride is a feeling. What would be driving you to work for it if you didn't actually feel anything for it?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Those kinds of feelings are different.

[ofhopeandglory.livejournal.com]

Hardly.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Of course they are. They're for things, not people.

[ofhopeandglory.livejournal.com]

... Brushing past the most obvious answer to that statement, I think you'll find that feelings are feelings no matter what you're feeling them for.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

They're much less inconvenient when they're for things.

[ofhopeandglory.livejournal.com]

The definition of what a "thing" is can be rather fluid at times.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

In this case, I generally mean "anything that's not a person", but I suppose there could be some exceptions.
