Acceptance and Will

[Monica]

Monica, I just visited the meat thread and I sort of realized from your statement there that this thread is probably an extension of some of the points discussed there.

Yes. This topic is deep enough that it deserves its own thread. (In addition to keeping the meat thread on-topic since that is a deep topic too.)

I opine that the following two Ra exchanges speak directly to the many layered questions hiding behind your main question.

YES!!! Good find! These quotes do address the question perfectly!

This statement in particular:

It is thus that those who deal with this thought-war must be defensive rather than accepting in order to preserve their usefulness in service to others. Thusly, they cannot accept fully what the Orion Confederation wishes to give, that being enslavement.
