For those of you who knew my nephew Zuko, he disappeared this morning. It was as if he vanished, not a trace of him anywhere.

[He had made an effort of looking]

I think that it will probably be for the best, he has much work to do back home.

[It is a bittersweet parting. He was glad to have family here, but he would rather Zuko be off fufilling his destiny]

Things often get worse before they get better.

How long must this Core keep bringing in people like that before it will bring in those that will actually make a positive difference, then?!

[tea_lover64]

Do not be too judgemental. You do not know the circumstances which drove them to do so. Everyone has a breaking point.

voice

[bratziska]

I - If they act like criminals, they should be treated as such!

voice

[tea_lover64]

That is a very black and white view. Let me ask you this, if the government is corrupt and unequal is the law being upheld?

voice

[bratziska]

Of course not! [She's getting angry again; she takes a breath.] I've heard about the problems of the court systems here, but they can be fixed!

voice

[tea_lover64]

I am certain they can be, it is a long path.

I am not justifying what happened, but look deeper into the reasons why the event happened. Look at things in a wider scope. If you believe in the law, take into consideration everything involved.

[bratziska]

You honestly think that just because we're a minority group, it gives people an excuse like that? That's all it is - an excuse. Unacceptable!

voice

[tea_lover64]

[Mildly]

Did I say that? I don't believe I did. All I am suggesting is that you open your horizons, and look at things in a wider view.

voice

[bratziska]

What sort of things? It all looks very clear to me, honestly.

voice

[tea_lover64]

Does it now? Find out more about the people and beings, learn who they are. You should know a person before condemning them.

voice

[bratziska]

I'll learn all that I need to know about them when I meet them in court!

The tigermonkey cannot be known in its cage. Only in the jungle can you truly understand it.

voice

[bratziska]

And just what can't be seen while its in the cage, to follow your analogy? I think that it would grant me a better view!

voice

[tea_lover64]

It would be still yes, but trapped. Something outside its natural state. A caged animal immediately is defined by its imprisonment. It may be for its own good or the safety of others, but you can not truly know a creature outside its habitat.

voice

[bratziska]

So, what, you think we should allow criminals to run wide and free, so they can murder and thieve and fight to their hearts' content?

voice

[tea_lover64]

[Franziska, you are making his head hurt]

I don't believe I said that. I am suggesting that knowing someone is dependent upon the circumstances in which you see them.

voice

[bratziska]

[She's just stubborn. 8(]

Yes, and you said that they are best observed in their natural environments. So, you're encouraging the freedom of criminals. That is the obvious conclusion.

voice

[tea_lover64]

I did not say such things. You are simply making things match a conclusion you already made.

voice

[bratziska]

[Because that conclusion is right, obviously.]

Yes, so? In any case, I fail to see how some of the people brought to this place make any sort of positive contribution to society at all.

voice

[tea_lover64]

That is not how to approach a conversation with someone. You listen to what they have to say, and take its value. How many people have you actually met and talked with?

voice | i am loving him calling her out JUST SAYING (8

[bratziska]

Are you saying that I don't know how to talk to people?

voice He's wise and he knows it. *dances*

[tea_lover64]

That is what I am saying.

[He pauses for a moment]

It is not something to be ashamed of. Like everything, it takes practice, willingness, and being open to the experience.

voice It's so beautiful :'D

[bratziska]

I'm not ashamed of anything! You're just wrong.

voice

[tea_lover64]

About this I don't believe I am. If it is upsetting you, we can move on to a different topic.
