It's a psychological process, based on the interaction between a person's world view, their experiences, and their sense of self. It involves getting down to the core beliefs that cause cognitive dissonance, and being able to re-evaluate the meaning of events that challenge them.

Huh. So..... magic.

Quote:By the way, by "choose," I don't imply any failure in someone who continues to suffer. I'm saying that so long as a person can think about, and redefine, their values and interpretations, they have a chance to reduce that suffering greatly.

Or... this very same ability to redefine/rethink/reinterpret leads them to not knowing the truth, and their mind fills in blanks with unknowns and everything goes crazy.

... Some just want it all to stop. It's quite the headache.

Thinking

Are you suggesting that you don't know?

Do not forget that said individual is staunch in their abstinence. What one's body reacts with and what their heart desires are not the same thing.

I have yet to see a situation where you only have these two choices?

I choose neither!

Choosing nothing is the same as choosing that your loved one dies.

I'm sorry if you thought there was a way out... there's not.

* Violet slips from a northern chaotic neutral to central chaotic evil.

Suddenly, this very situation can happen. However, I find it is rather... boring.

Quote:What situation would have to occur for this to be the only choice? I would make my own choice! Kill all the henchmen!

You fuck the teenager.... or your loved one dies. It's basic coercion, really.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
