Question 1:

What are the advantages and disadvantages of Vampirism?

Let us start with the advantages. The one thing to keep in mind that these may vary from person to person as they are affected differently. Speaking from someone who is Empathic, being able to focus and draw upon another's emotions is something I enjoy. Not only do I find my greatest gain of energy this way, but I have also learned a wider range of emotions that I may have had, had I not had this need of energy. Not only have I found this a help to my needs, but I have been able to help others, vampire and non-vampire at the same time. Being able to recognise the levels of emotions of others helps you to be able to talk to them and connect with them much easier. You can be of help to them before they even know it. This is a good thing when you work in an environment where you are having to deal with people on a one-on-one or in a group. Being able to be so attuned to the energies around me in nature is also a benefit. To be able to take a walk and "feel" the energy in the air, trees, and all things living is something to be enjoyed and there are many who do not. They are unable to tap into it as they do not have such a need for it. To be able to feel such a wide range of emotions is not something I think I would have been able to experience or share had I not been in need of the energy.

Let's move on with some disadvantages. To have such a need of energy that you must learn how to gain from it daily is a heavy burden to many. It leads many to wishing they could just turn off the need forever, forget it exists, but they cannot. This need is something that drives us daily to ensure balance. There are some who do not think about it except when they are at a low point, others who think about it all throughout the day and their interactions with others. The point is, it is something that cannot be ignored. It is something that for many is a hindrance. To have to keep such a balance is not something that is easy. It can lead many down the road to depression, whether it be from the frustration of not being able to gain what they need, to not being able to keep what they do gain, to just plain being at the end of their emotional rope. Not being able to keep balance in the body is something that will wear it down just like any cold. Once you are down that road it becomes increasingly harder to focus and gain any energy let alone the need you require.

Another downfall goes back to the advantages we spoke about, emotions and being able to tap into them. When one finds themselves bombarded with so many differing emotions, they can become overwhelming. This can lead to emotions overiding everything else and then the focus is lost. Once this happens it is diffcult to get it back. Allowing them to take-over so to speak can lead to the energy readily being gone just as quickly. This can take the energy you have stored and leave you worse than when you started. It is a hard thing for many to keep focus. It takes time and patience.

One other thing to look at is that when one has to keep such a balance, one must really know themselves and what they need. To look into one's self is not an easy thing. There are many who do not really wish to know what is within, or under the surface. This is a must however if one expects to be able to handle their need of energy.

These are only just a quick glance at both advantages and disadvantages. Being able to come together and share in all our knowledge and experiences is the one reason why the VC is here. It enables us to learn more day-to-day and person-to-person. Hope this helps!

Question 2:

Hello. I was wondering if Vampirism can be passed from family to family?

Greetings.. I have been asked this a few times. And from most of the people I know that have Vampirism, they say that no one else in their family suffers from it. I am the only one in my family that I know of. I'm unsure about my son at this time. He is just to young yet. Now I have heard also that some have had other members in their family that have had sisters or brothers who had it. Vampirism is a rare condition, so not everyone gets it. So I say in most cases it is not passed.
