However, taking away the will of those who attack me to attack me again is precisely what I'm after, if I can't remove their ability (in a wholly in-game context, of course) to do so outright.
Than i guess i just did not understood you precisely. And in this matter we are understand each others. In the matter of fact, this is also how i act. Such bullies what you talking about are like the taste of power, trough brute force and fear. But once you stood up against them, an showed you are not so easily scared, their methods proven useless their reign is broken. And cant get it back.
Ever! The problem? Some of them willing to go really really far, if you dont do what they say. my answer? keep chasing and beating them until they got the taste of their own medicine.
Edit; because you see? They are in the bottom of their heart just cowards, with the desire to control others.
And also don't forget, to punish the wicked is just half of the job, and so as to protect the weak! They are together form true justice.
Gabriel and Lucifer are together whole and need each others to maintain the balance. So the wicked cant get away with his sin in the name of good hardheartedness, and the weak can't be punished needlessly.
Edit2; And also? You lots know what i like about the eastern thinking? They are seeing the opposites, as the part of the whole. And they are sometimes right. I said
sometimes! Because you see? The thing is and what they are forget? This is also a yin - yang situation, which in this case means? Sometimes the opposites really are what the western world think about them. Enemies to the death!
Now, the west understood this is not always true, but instead to understand, the opposites can be a part of the whole, we started to move toward the wrong direction, and said than there are can't be any opposites" So we got genderology, feminists, and all of the other stupid which causing so much headache in these days.
