[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 8112093, member: 42856"] Grandpa, why are the other people calling us thieves and throwing rock at us? We are not stealing items. We are handling them. The difference baffles the rest of the races because only kender can hear the plea of the object-spirits yearning to be free. Most race are too blinded by the feeling they are entitled to OWN things to realize that they are doing something deeply amoral by enthralling objects they have no immediate use of enslaving them. In some case, those property-minded humans even stoop to put their objects into small jails --- they call them chests -- where they can't even see the beauty of the flowers in the gardens... We kender are mindful of the objects, we don't believe in slavery, that's why we're taking them: to salute them and allow them some degree of freedom of movement that object-spirits should enjoy, too. Grandpa, are the humans all evil? No, because they are just not smart enough to accept that objects have rights. Some of them are evil, of course, but for most of them, it's just an inability to understand a basic concept that slavery is bad and listening the voice of the objects. You can't blame them for that, they are simply lacking proper education. In their worldview, it's perfecty OK to "own" people, animals, objects and even more ludicrously, some of them seem to think they can own PLACES and IDEAS. No, grandpa, this is too ludicrous, nobody of a playable race can think like that, we're past of the age of fairy tales. They call themselves copyright-holders. Grandpa, what should we do when visiting a human town? Should we become like them? No. It's not because you're living amid murderers that you should commit murders yourselves. Don't enslave objects because the humans say it's all-OK. Keep our superior, freedom-loving, cultural value and make a point of refusing to abide by their barbaric customs. You all know what stealing is, and you shouldn't do that, but by all mean continue to handle objects. [/QUOTE]
