Yeh... <sarcastic snigger> Because I am Just absolutely totally known for my balanced, Mature, Reasonable, non-eXtreme, Normal, behavior!!! - 🙂 LOL! 🙂 <comically exaggerated facepalm> NOT!!!

.

THAT IS WHY I HAVE SUCH A HUGE SET OF SUPER STRICT PERSONAL RULES!

.

I have rules about asking people out on dates,

I have rules for dating.

I have rules about breaking up.

I have rules for physical conflicts.

I have rules for being ethical.

I have rules for being evil.

I have rules for mercy.

I have rules for ruthlessness.

I have rules about the rules.

And -

Rules about what exceptions exist to those rules.

And -

What rules about what the exceptions are - To those exceptions!

.

These rules are divorced from human norms.

They do not care about what is "legal".

AND

They ignore all personal sacrifices of me, my friends myself, my family, my happiness, my well-being, and everything, else!

.

I cannot be threatened from them - I will always choose death.

I cannot be bribed from them - I will always choose poverty.

I cannot be negotiated with - I would choose be hated instead.

I cannot be "reasoned" with. - I would choose to snap rather than ever bend!

.

These rules are my ONLY! - <And I do mean my ONLY> true loyalty!

Everything else can burn while screaming!

.

AND ALL OF THIS - these rules - Are NOT...

...I Repeat NOT!

For my benefit! - AT ALL!

The rules are there for YOU!

.

It is to protect the people around me!

From what I could become! - IF I let myself!

.

Your welcome!
