I'm not the kind to sympathise with people because of back stories.To me, what's done is done, and there's no need to hold onto the past. The past is necessary to reach the present, and the present is needed to forge the future. One's past is no excuse for their present actions. If one keeps sitting in a corner whining about their life, nothing's going to happen. Instead, they should just move on, regardless of what happened. You misunderstand. In order to get to the present, one must live the past. From the present, one can forge the future.

It's like eating. In the past, you went to the market and bought food. In the present, you prepare food. In the future, you will eat the prepared food. It's an undeniable chain of events. It's an undeniable chain of events, I'll accept that, but just because something bad happened in the past, there's no need to quit everything. If you went to the market, in search of your favourite food, only to find that its sold out, would you make a whole sob story and sit in a corner or would you just suck it, but something else and go home? Personally I'd do the latter. I'd do the latter as well. However, Jill was simply explaining her past, not making a sob story of it. Neither did she sit around, as you would say. On chat, she made a whole sob story out of it though. A "sad" backstory is no excuse for one's present actions. If your teacher asked you to decorate cupcakes for some project and you're out of frosting, what would you do? Use fondant and powdered sugar or just sit in a corner and go "omg my life i hate it and you should all feel sad for me and anyone who doesn't suck up to me doesn't have a heart"? She has the right to explain her story as she likes, just as we have the right to interpret it as we feel it should be.

And I would do the former. But that's an exaggeration, let me tell you that.

She has the right to explain her story, but she has no right to complain we we are not interested. Also, backstories don't mean crap. A person does a bad thing, and they get punished. End of story.

Ok, that might be slight exaggeration, but It was pretty realistic based on what happened in the demoting Miron thread. Also, I would appreciate it if we didn't keep up this topic. I really wouldn't like to see a fight between friends.
