Diana Kim? Thinking?

No worries, there.

Freedom can be frightening for those who are not used to it. When someone else has set the rules and sets the course of action, a man can only adjust himself to fit the circumstances, not the other way around.

The challenge freedom presents to its disciples is that the responsibility of your actions belongs to you only, regardless of whether your choices led to victory or defeat.

Without freedom, any appeal to ideals is empty. The choice and responsibility were not yours to begin with. Without freedom, there can be no honor, only obedience. Without alternatives, there can be no loyalty or sacrifice. Without individual choice, there can be no morality.

It is of course possible for a person to behave like an animal. However, most people don't choose to act this way. Most people want to be respected, even admired members of the community, and they constantly improve themselves, rise to higher and higher levels in skill, wisdom and sophistication as they follow their dreams. Only without restraints people can truly reach their full potential, and as a fruit of their efforts and vision is the reason, we have the jewel of a society, known as the Federation.

Perhaps a visit to Caille might be a cruel fate for someone used to a culture of shackles and chains for after having tasted the sweets of freedom, anything else will feel shallow and miserable.


Frightening is the wrong word. It is more like disgusting, but not frightening.
When you consider choices, you always have unlimited alternatives to make one action or another. The set of the rules and course of action can be chosen by someone else, by the whole system you are living in, or by you yourself. You always have ability to break this course and do not follow these laws. And this is your desired freedom.
Only your individual choice keeps you in line with laws and principles. When you break them, escape your chains, you get your freedom. And become one step closer to animal world.

Ms. Kim,
...

By modifying others' words that you use in argument, you show your inability to participate in discussion. I don't know, maybe in gallente world this behavior is standard and accepted, but I consider it not professional and fool. Whatever you have planned to show me, you proved only this:
The best way to solve disputes with gallentes is by means of gunfire.
Well, plus one argument to "why diplomacy doesn't work".

Honored are the dead, for their legacy guides us.
