Perhaps I've just had too much experience with predatory people, including psychic/emotional vampires. Those kinds of people seduce you in various ways and draw you in, only to use you for their own purposes, quite possibly to your detriment. Have you ever dealt with any serious addicts? It's not natural, it's not pretty, it's not romantic, and it's not sexy.
We're not talking about lions eating gazelles here.

Possibly because I'm human?
I can step back and look at the situation from a much broader POV, yes. I can move to a point where there IS no good and evil, and I can see it that way and understand it fully.
That doesn't mean I want to read the Twilight series, or that I'm going to invite vampires (of any sort) over to my house to feed on me.

I still don't find that sexy or romantic or appealing, which was my original position and which I still hold. Unless I want to step into a broader POV and do the whole "there is no evil/good" thing, which I can do. *shrug* It is what it is.
I'm going to stop talking now. I'm getting into one of those funks, possibly permanent, where nothing I say is understood the way I intended it to be. When that starts happening, it's time to shut up.
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
