[Morality] This subject has been debated among the vampiric community, from all angles, regarding vampirism from a moralistic point of view, "can it truely be a moral lifestyle?", and the aspect of guilt many feel at how we have to live our lives.
Having considered this question this was my reply:
"The way I look at it there are laws, common sense [re: health and safety when your dealing with blood] and our own personal codes and boundries that dictate/govern behaviour. Providing we don't cross or lose sight of those I don't see that anyone is being immoral in any way, at least they shouldn't think so in their own minds, because at the end of the day one [wo]mans moraltiy may not be anothers *shrugs* but we know our own and societies boundries"
Anyone who wants to step ouside these lines or think they can, believe themselves entitled, because of what they are has a bigger problem than being a vampire! No-one is above the law
Now, to share my views on 'guilt':
Many don't like what it means they have to do as a vampire to remain healthy and happy within themselves, they feel they are using people or have become manipulative and mercenary to get what they need, and sure those who do behave in such a way exist but I doubt they're feeling any guilt about it, and kin or non-kin would behave in the same way. It's just the way they are made. What I'm concerned with are those genuine people who happen to be kin and due to the restrictions society places on what it deems acceptable spend most of their time feeling exactly as described above, guilty, manipulative etc even though it's far from anything they can help and most wouldn't choose to do in the first place. It's not as if they enjoy having to feel as bad as they do when they don't feed nor dealing with the reactions from people they think they can trust and know well enough to be able to ask them to become a donor all of which just serves to increase already overwhelming feelings of guilt and self disgust.
As far as the law states, what consenting adults do in their own time is their own business so why is it that this statement only seems to apply as long as it's something 'we' as a populace are comfortable with?
