I have never been blind. Is blindness a metaphor? I am careful about which rules I add to my book, and my book is the set of rules that I follow, not other people's rules.
Yes, blindness is a metaphor. I just mean that some people follow the rules of their God without thinking about them, or what they mean, to them and others. It's dangerous.
Don't you think your life, without choices and just obeying orders, hurt you? It's not just about permanent damage, after all, nor is it just about physical damage.
[Jesus. There is a lot here, that Claire doesn't feel qualified to unpack herself. It's way too much.]
I do believe you'd be alive, even without your creator making you obey whatever order he gave you. You seem like a strong, resilient person. But I don't want you to think you did anything wrong by following orders.
Because I liked following orders and knowing what to do, and I did not always know that the things I did were wrong. I know now. But I still like following orders and knowing what to do.

It was my life. It is how I became alive. I would not be alive if the person who made me did not make me to do the things he wanted me to do.

[Just pointing out.]
And I think I did things that were wrong. I am very sure that I did things that were wrong.

[Stop being obtuse, Ecks.]
But not because you wanted to.
