Love is a weakness, though it is not the only one. The greatest? I cannot say. It is so easy to hurt them because they love each other, because they care. They may not have realized our main differences; their attacks mean nothing as they have no effect and physical attacks are not possible. Even if they were, I have little to fear and know that if anything did happen, it would be temporary. […] Love was Dumbledore's weakness as it was most likely my parents'. I was able to manipulate her, as I have done with others, and as I continue to do now. So while I have condemned some to a short life without emotions here, love has always proven to be an advantage for me.

I do believe this world and the cure would have had a great impact on myself, should I have been born into it as it exists now. It is meant to suppress all strong emotions which have been the cause for greatness and tragedy alike. Leaders full of rage who cannot control themselves only end up burning their own empires. Yet, without passion and ambition, we would live like the cured people of this world without anything to live for at all. Of course, there are more important variances in this world that would have an even larger effect on myself, such as the lack of magic.

Curious.
