i know it's not your fault
still lately i begin to shake
for no reason at allCHAPTER THREE
I CANT HANDLE CHANGEMOST OF HER problems are her own fault, but that seems to be the downfall of man; they yearn for too much of their want, and crave too little of their need.
Vivienna used to study the era of enlightenment at school; scholars like John Locke and Thomas Hobbes posing the question of whether government reins in man's natural cruelty or created it. Books like Lord Of The Flies that detail how man is born evil and cruel, and the rules of society rope them back under the wings of manner and moral.
All Vivienna knows is that all problems man complain about, man created.
She knows friendships aren't a transactional investment, but that's the funny part of her growing relationship with Xavier Thorpe; she's never had a friend like him before, and now she's unsure of what to do. Before man spoiled the goodness of Earth, she is sure relationships were never thought to be transactional; you give, you get, but it's not an investment. Not a fundamental principle that you must give before you get.
Vivienna knows this. But knowing and doing are two very different things, and one is vastly more difficult than the other. Anyone can know; anyone can know that is generally frowned upon to expect some kind of retribution from someone in exchange for something they didn't even ask for, yet nobody really does.
