DPP: Rules

[anamarya.livejournal.com]

Every once in a while, usually sooner than later we end up speaking about obeying/stretching/breaking the rules.

Usually we tend to see Lee as going by the book and Kara being the one to break all the rules.

So, today's question fro the shipper nation is: what do you think? is it true? is it false? or is it just blown out of proportion?

Kara believes that she is a screw-up and given her role in Zak's death, has hard time trusting her heart and decisions made out of love.

I really agree -- that right there seems to be at the heart of so much of what she does.

Jumping in at the last here, but I really loved the above discussion.

Kara believes that she is a screw-up and given her role in Zak's death, has hard time trusting her heart and decisions made out of love.

I think this also means she feels unworthy of the Gods' love/redemption so I'm sure she has many moments of "Why do I even bother trying when I'm too far gone anyway?" Especially when she seems to be constantly thrown into peril by the Gods she so fervently believes in. I think her faith in the gods is strong, but her faith in herself is where the lack is...

She tries to sacrifice her love for Lee (and also there's an element of trying to force his hand) by saying she won't divorce...tries to submit to the very minimum of what is 'required' (because, really, if the gods know her, how could they expect more?) but then she almost dies anyway...and is still miserable (of course yes, She could have swung the other way...) so she decides to just throw in the towel. I'm sure she's had this push-pull before in many areas of her life!

Very well said. This is exactly what I am thinking, just did not know how to put it in words.

I love your whole comment, but this in particular rang true to me:

Thank you for your insights!
