I am aware there are those here who do not agree with me.
[AAAAAA HIS PROBLEMS. The way she is the first one to say it like it is to him even though a few have gently called him out on it.]
I did, and I do. I tried, and what I tried failed because other people were controlled by their emotions. They brought war and suffering to the commune. They destroyed what was holding it together.
It would be a salvation. Everyone... together. As one. No conflicts. All thoughts shared. Everyone would be equal.
His sigh is not annoyed - it doesn't seem like he can emote very strongly, interestingly enough - but it is resigned perhaps.]
Yes, I have heard this already from Kiraman and Lailah. But you cannot have both. They cannot exist simultaneously. As I'm sure you've seen here, in this place called Heaven.
If the emotions are kept, then there will always be violence, and suffering, and pain.
he just added a modifier so it wasn't quite as accurate ]
Humanity's biggest threat isn't itself in my world. It is another force that endangers it, and after waiting for thousands of years, I saw a change that meant there was hope for humanity.

Is that not the final evolution for them?
no subject
No, it's not. You would destroy their individualism and what makes everyone so lovable. I don't think it's evolution.
It's reducing them. Maybe it would be peace, but it'd end in stagnation. You'd be taking all their vitality.

no subject
They can and have. You do not believe people can change, do you?
no subject
I have seen people change. But the end result of humanity never changes.
no subject
sorry he's in a heaven full of people who love love and love humanity. sorry that loving humanity is elysia's whole core. ]
Oh, but it can. It make take thousands of years, but it does. At least, it has for my world.
no subject
Your world is free of the violence humans inflict on themselves through their emotions.
no subject
The end result has changed, at least from how it ended originally.
no subject
What do you mean?

You think love saved them?
[There is no confidence, he sounds as if he is throwing out a guess based on their conversations.]
no subject
[ because it was in part because of her. she wasn't the entire reason, but she was part of it.
she is sure about it now. ]
It did.
no subject
He frowns, not entirely convinced apparently.]
Love is the most destructive.
[Don't you Lailah him and try to get him to admit to emotions like love.]
no subject
[ he doesn't have to be convinced, but elysia is confident. ]
no subject
You will argue with me no matter what I say unless I am agreeing.
[He doesn't sound mad, just resigned.]
no subject
[ she's just saying. ]
I understand we both won't change our minds, but I do think your opinion has been shaped by what Jayce did to you more than you expect.
no subject
[THIS FEELS UNFAIR.]
It wasn't only Jayce. I've always seen what emotions make people do to others. Hurt them, manipulate them, suppress them.
no subject
[ she doesn't say it like it's a bad thing. just that it is what it is. ]
Emotions do do all of that, but they also buoy, lift, and drive people to overcome obstacles.
