WORDS FOR THOUGHT
Thought I: Which of the "Unforgivable Curses" is the worst to you? [I also talked
about this in "Questions/Theories."]
Well, it seems that most of us would pick the Crutacious Curse.
Because our reasons are that the Imperius Curse could be fought...and Avada Kedvra?...it's just death...quick and painless.
But the Crutacious, although also could be fought, is a form of torture. It is of perhaps one of the worst thing anyone could
be done to a human being. It is pure pain. Of suffering and struggle. However, nearly no one had thought of the equal force
the Imperius Curse could be released.
With the Imperius Curse, it is of vast catagory of all forms of torture.
You could be tortured, controlled, or even killed. However, it is not only YOU that is being affected, but also others as
well. So it really depends on your morality and ethics. Would you let yourself be sacrificed?...or let others in place of
you to be suffered? Could you live with the conscience that you are tearing families apart? Or live with the guilt that
you had stole the hard-earned money of some difficult family? How could you ever live with yourself after drowning a little
boy...taking his poor life?...
~~~~~~~
Thought II: Snape
Yes, you are
wondering why in the world would anyone care or even remotely think about the greasy-haired, hook-nosed, sallow-skined man?
Well, here is why:
Why is Snape is mean? Why does he portray a seemingly cruel and heartless figure? Is he truly
bad? Was he born a cold heart even when he was a baby? No, I doubt anyone with a right mind would say yes. Of course not,
just as we all are born equal, Severus was born a good person with a good heart. He may not be the most popular or the smartest
pupil in Hogwarts, but he was hard working and ambitious enough to be the Potions Master!
So, somewhere along
the way, he lost sight of kindness and compassion...no, dramatic changes like this don't happen overnight for no reason!
Something real bad and difficult must have hit him that forced him to be the way he is. And I have no doubt J.K. Rowling
will reveal it later in her books. Most likely 6th or 7th. But meanwhile, what do you think? You can email me and tell
me about it! :D
Was it a lost family or loved one?
Was it a friend?
Or, was it that his heart
was broken by a woman he loved and cherished so dearly?...
