It should not take creativity.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Whether or not it should, it appears it might need a bit more than that.

[adisaster]

It is still a difficult issue.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

I do understand your dilemma now. You're not accustomed to ever needing to prove yourself.

[adisaster]

[ nnnods ]

I was accustomed to -- if not being respected ... being feared, at the very least.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

The fact remains that you can't instill fear without being frightening. If you've lost the power that makes you feared, you can't expect people to continue to feel the same. You'll have to find some other way. At the very least threats of future retribution.

[ huff ]

I have threatened and challenged plenty in that way.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Obviously not very effectively.

[adisaster]

Knowing I will be stronger eventually means little to them, apparently.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Humans have trouble anticipating a painful future, even if it's truly inevitable. They're much more likely to ignore the facts and hope.

[adisaster]

What foolish creatures they are, then. Either way ... that is why threats are not effective.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Well, particularly creative threats can be somewhat effective. But in the end they'll want to see evidence.

[adisaster]

Evidence that I am currently lacking.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

And you're just going to wait until it's handed back to you?
