Your captor is constantly looking for excuses to escalate things. There is nothing you can do to keep things the way they are.

- azangru 8y agoIt is a matter of belief, I suppose :-) One can believe in the reality where the captor is constantly thinking of how to provoke the captive and then destroy him, or in the reality where the captor is minding his own business until he is provoked. The Russia of the first decade of the 2000s rather resembled this second reality. Whether the reality has switched to the first one, I am not sure.
