>>89599334being a decent person isn't about the absence of bad desires, it's about the self-control not to entertain them. in the same vein being a truly good person isn't about having good desires but the still-greater self-control to realize those good desires. tormenting yourself about your bad desires or flattering yourself about your good desires are both trying to create moral stakes to the play you're performing in your tiny, limited stage which noone watches. fictive love is the same. i disabused myself a little bit of the latter by going to animenyc and finding out i still couldn't talk to any of you, even though you were right there next to me. it's not something you have to disabuse yourself of though if it comforts you. if we aren't going to leave the stage, aren't going to leave the web either way, it's not necessary.
tell your cat thank you for me.
