Small, yapping dogs carted about in strollers: Yet another reason to push the restart button on humanity.

I think maybe they're scared of the responsibility. So many people, before, felt like they didn't have to be responsible for anything, right? And so then people just don't know how to be responsible anymore. A dog seems like less of a committment, I guess.

You work so hard to see the good in people. I can admire that.

*shrugs, turning a little bit pink* It's just how my mother brought me up.

I wish I had the skill of it.

[gotbottle]

People can always learn, I think.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Even someone as ingrained in their ways as I am?

[gotbottle]

I don't see why not. I don't think people are ever worth giving up on.

So how would you save me from my centuries of cynicism?

[gotbottle]

I don't... exactly know. But I bet I could figure it out. Sometimes people just need a good example, or they need somebody to believe in them.

If I can't figure it out on my own I can always pray for guidance. That's gotten me through a lot.

I'd be intrigued to see what you come up with.

Would you pray for me, Rachel?

[gotbottle]

I guess I could let you know? If I think of anything.

I would, yeah. If you wanted.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

I'd appreciate that. Or at least be curious.

No one has in a very long time, at least that I know about.

[gotbottle]

Okay. I'll think on it, then.

That's just terrible. I promise I will, then.

Good.

Thank you. Is it rude to ask what you shall pray for?

[gotbottle]

I don't think it's rude to ask. I don't like to, like, presume I know what's best, so I think it's best if I pray that you just find the guidance you need, however it comes to you. Is that okay?

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

I think that would be perfectly lovely.

[gotbottle]

*smiles, coloring a bit* Then that's what I'll do.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[gotbottle]

You're welcome, Adam.
