Re: Mulder/Scully
Mulder, who is to say that I cannot access the forums from my suite on the spaceship?
Now, where were we? Anonymity, I believe? Let us ignore the irony of this conversation at the moment. People do not go to their friends or family because the people we are close to are people we want to keep around. If they find out the bad, they may not want to stay. It is an irrational fear, but I can understand it. On another hand, getting judged by someone that is outside of the situation gives us perspective. I find in many cases though that many people do not want to hear the truth. If someone asks how I am doing I am expected to say 'Fine' even if that is the antithesis of how I feel. Speaking of, how are you?
True love should not be easy to find, even for special agents like us. It would cheapen the experience if it went unearned. What is this ideal balance? Between love and work? Or something else? (And for what it is worth, Mulder, my work does, in fact, direct and concentrate my passion elsewhere.)
Is it intent that pardons the killer?

P.S. Sadly, if that one bad snowflake was absent, another would fall right into place. There is no stopping the avalanche.
