the importance of siblings

so you agree with his self appointed dictatorship? you agree with him forcing the people to do as he wishes? you agree with all the sactions and other rules he imposes on the people? don't you see him bit as a power hungry person?

I only think that the law is necessary to human beings and his own is better than the Order's one

yes laws are important for order... and possibly his is better initially, but do you see how power hungry he is? power feeds him

I think power feed every ruler but in a way he seems less power hungry than Jagang or Darken

so you agree that he is power hungry?

yes but it isn't a wrong thing (of course it becomes wrong when someone exaggerates) IMO everyone in his mind is power hungry do you agree with me???

no... i've never had hunger for power... any kind of power... so right there is one exception... why is power hunger not wrong?

Because I think that sometimes one can,being power hungry, do the things to be done in a better way

give me at least two examples... because i'm not convinced that any power hungry person has done good... except better himself/herself at the expense of others

well in works if you aren't a little power hungry you work badly, and in school if you aren't a little power hungry you remain in the crowd

but we have seen that it didn't work, even richard gives up and goes to hide in the mountains of westland... so where did all his hunger for power go? didn't he disappoint the people that actually alied themselves with him and his empire?

Yes but I think it's a hard blow for him what happened in Ander so He might be confused at the moment and the only thing he could do is go faraway from his army and restarts from the beginning

i don't think he starts from the begining... confused? i don't think he is confused either... he knows that people won't fight for something they have not lost yet...

besides i have never thought that richard was a power hungry person... it seems that way when destroys the midland aliance, but all he does is not for power but to save life... because he has so little experiece with matters of politics he comes across as power hungry...

So you agree with me in thinking that Richard is a good ruler even if he is a dictator. am I right?

yes... i was simply playing the devils advocate... to actually see what i really think you should read my critical paper...

OK you play very well the part of devil advocate

where's the smily with the halo?

i've enjoyed playing the devil's advocate... made me look at things in a slightly different way...

It's funny discussing with the devil advocate

the smily with the halo is the second in the first line of the list
