The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

We all have some sort of honour code that sets the boundries of our morals. It is the basic nature of the freudian mind, the id, the creation of you through a meeting between your moral and your needs. Of'course for sanguinarians this meeting is a litle bit confusing. Most of us doesn't have an intent to do harm, but our very basic vampiric nature derives from a need for blood, which for all intent and purpose needs someone to be "harmed" for extracting. So we create morals, we create the guidlines for ok behaviour so that we sadify our needs and still maintain a id through the balance. As a community we are devided by this question, and the debate is often harsh. Why? Well because we need to know that our morals is the same as others so that we can maintain a positive selfimage. It is importany for us that others acknowledge our morals so that we can rest easy knowing that our morals are good.



So why don't we just solve this through democrazy where we choose a task force which presents a suggestion of rules for a vampire congress to take for descision? Why don't we elect representatives which will decied the morals for all vampires?



Well this was a bloody mess to answer. For starters we are not a simple group to unite, there are a few covens and houses but a hugh number are solitary. And then the whole debate about psi or sang. And to top it of, a whole lot of role players. To administer the right to vote would be a mess.



But say it survives this stage, say that we manage to unite behind a common set of moral rules. What do we do when someone breaks them. Do we start some secret police? Do we start paying a special tax privatly to ensure that this enforcing entity has the means to enforce our morals? And wouldn't this kind of start a massive hunk lf problems?



And someone who reads this will probably be thinking "come on lassie, we have the black veil, it's good enough". And yep I like the black veil, it's fine for me (and someone is probably thinking "sigh the black veil is so roleplay duh"). I choose to follow the black veil, you don't have to. The important thing is that the rules are there as a support for you, they help you to be comfortable as you experience and feel needs. But the rules doesn't mean anything if they don't match your personal convictions. In a coven or a house there are some enforcing and you have to match your kin. But the base is still you. Of course it would be simpler if everyone just said: "I agree to the black veil!" (but then we need to start the discussion about which version) but in the end it all comes down to respect and understandning. As long as we don't enforce all we can do is make sure that we understand.



But this was just a meta discussion about ethics, another time I will go more into the black veil and which version I support and why. Until the , dream a litle bad dream of me
