Of Goals and Milestones

On Asarai by Lady Aislin

The goal of every asarai is to cause as much dissension and chaos as possible. The reason is so they can stand back and receive either the negativity it causes or so they can glean a sense of false self-importance through the ability to manipulate and control other people. The first universal law is no one can violate the free will of another UNLESS YOU ALLOW THEM TO! No one can control, manipulate, influence, torment, affect, or entice you without your personal permission to allow this to happen.

These people normally are like snakes. They often volunteer for things for the simple purpose of hearing how wonderful it was that they offered their time and energy to the project. I have known asarai to volunteer to aid others in events, raise the stakes and then leave the other person hanging to foot the bill. People allow asarai to get into their lives because they either do not listen to their first instinct, or they just don't know what they are getting themselves into.

The only way to thoroughly eradicate asarai from our Society is simply to not deal with them at all, on any level, for any reason. Snakes do not only bite once. If left to their own devices, and if you're not bright enough to move out of their way, they will bite you to death if you let them. It is your choice to allow them to bite you to death, or to walk away before they can strike. As a Nightside Society we are not a bunch of victims. We are not helpless. Come on now people, think! It's a simple choice of either allowing someone to affect your life or not. It's your life, not theirs!
