Breezepelt

I just find Breezepelt pathetic and overall weak willed. He was overly aggressive which every cat in his Clan kept trying to teach him or tell him to get control of and he refused to listen. He thought he was better than everyone else. He tried to kill innocent cats for something that wasn't their fault. And they were born first. It's not like he was the first born and they were born after him.

I don't find any appeal or even sympathy for his character. He was a flat out jerk for what was in my opinion a dumb reason. He had his CLan and his mother. (Even if his mother wasn't that good of a parent either) In my opinion that should have been enough. And that bad parenting doesn't justify attempted murder.


I likely would have done things differently. But it's unclear because while my father is pretty bad (worse than Crowfeather...) my mother made up for my and my sister's father's lack of parenting. In fact she never made us believe that are father was as bad as he was. I don't remember half the stuff that my mom told me happened when I turned 18 and asked what happened after they divorced. But my family and friends of my mother confirmed what my mother told me and my father always says ask your mother what happened and never says what happened. Or changes the subject. I also have two younger half-sisters who have spent more time with my father than I have. Who sees him more than I have. I have no animosity toward them. I wish we were closer but our father made sure we never got to see each other often.

And despite how bad my father was, my sisters and I still love the man. We don't expect anything from him, My biological sister and I have no plans to let our father do anything of real importance in our lives (not sure about my Half-sisters) but we still care about him and check in on him from time to time.

I believe in freedom of choice. I could choose to hate everything about my father and my half-sisters too. Why don't I? Because what good does that do me to feel bitter about something that I had no control over? How am I supposed to move on if I feel hatred for someone who did something in the past that hurt me? Forgiving was the first step to moving on of course but that doesn't mean I needed to forget anything. i haven't forgotten anything bad done to me by my father. I just pushed it behind me it wasn't worth being angry over or remaining bitter over it. I'm not going to let it effect any future relationships I may have.

This is why I don't like Breezepelt. My own personal experience with a similar situation is what shaped my opinion of him. It isn't an opinion that can be changed with facts. He was willing to kill innocent cats for something they had no control over. For something they were just as hurt about. I despise that about him, the fact he targeted his half-siblinings who were just as much victims as him. And for feeliing Smug about getting away with trying to kill them.
