to the public and stop hiding. What makes this hard is the mythology, folklore and fears people have about vampires. As we all know, vampires are considered evil. Where does this belief come from? Actually, these beliefs were brought on by paranoid religious leaders, writers of fiction and the media. How many of you, when you think of the vampire, think of the handsome or beautiful being walking around in a cape? Or how many have heard the horror stories of so called vampire cults? Hopefully, these pages will dispel those beliefs or at least help to do this. As you have probably read in the previous pages, mortal vampires are not evil, they are not supernatural, and they do not walk around in capes turning into bats or wolves. Here we have normal human beings, who happen to need blood to sustain themselves and ease pain. So what is so bad about this? Past beliefs. What most mortal vampires would like is to be able to go to a medical doctor, tell them they suffer, and what eases the pain, tell them the truth, instead of hiding the truth. The mortal vampire wants to be able to be free of the guilt that surrounds them. And they want not to fear persecution from society. Is this to much to ask? Do mortal vampires have to fear the human race? I would love to think not, but then I would be a fool. Real fears exist in society, real enough that a mortal vampire might have to fear for their life sometimes. This is not right; nor should it be . Let all who come here not do so to judge but to learn to understand and accept. Then perhaps spread the word and some first steps can be taken to giving mortal vampires a normal existance. |
