#Fallout 4 spoilers #Hancock spoilers

okay, I gotta get this out cause I feel like its important to understand Hancocks character and why he behaves the way he does when you first meet him, cause it seems like there’s some misunderstanding here (and also some pointing out the hypocrisy of an anti-tyrant killing someone to establish power). 

Hancock is protecting you from day one. When Hancock kills that citizen in front of you on your first foray into Goodneighbor, it is only partially a display of power. Sure, hes a showy ghoul (now), and it’s a good opportunity to assert some semblance of dominance. But the reality is that he thinks hes saving your ass from a serious extortion/robbery, and also from potential life-threatening danger. 

After you travel with him for a bit, at some point, he admits that he thought you were an easy target, looking like you were fresh out of the vault. He had no way of knowing your immense power (as the PC). Now he knows he was wrong, because he’s seen you in action- but what that does clue you into is that he recognized you as potential prey and, instead of allowing you to be taken advantage of and/or being hurt, he stepped in to prevent it. It’s also worth noting that Hancock gives the man a chance to back off before finishing him off. This goes along with his “protect those who need protecting, hurt bastards who need hurting” personality, which is something emphasized through his character arc. He does not abide by people who need help being left on the wayside. Everything he does and says emphasizes this, and his introduction is no exception. 

Ostracizing the weak, ostracizing the “other,” is the motivation for what led Hancock to where he is now, in personality and in power.  Hancock is someone who wants to be proud when he sees himself in the mirror. If he allowed you to be hurt, he would be going back on his promise to himself and the principles that landed him where he is now. Making a show of it is just a way to make an example out of a bad person to hopefully deter future incidents, in a way the people of Goodneighbor would understand.

ARE YOU WITH THE RIGHT PARTNER?


During a seminar, a woman asked,” How do I know if I am with the right person?”

The author then noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so he said, “It depends. Is that your partner?”
In all seriousness, she answered “How did you know?”
“Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it’s weighing on your mind." replied the author.

Here’s the answer:

Every relationship has a cycle… In the beginning; you fall in love with your partner. You anticipate their calls, want their touch, and like their idiosyncrasies. Falling in love wasn’t hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn’t have to DO anything. That’s why it’s called “falling” in love.

People in love sometimes say, I was swept of my feet. Picture the expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something happened TO YOU.

Falling in love is a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few months or years of being together, the euphoria of love fades. It’s a natural cycle of EVERY relationship.

Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse’s idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts. The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship; you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your partner might start asking, “Am I with the right person?” And as you reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when relationships breakdown.

The key to succeeding in a relationship is not finding the right person; it’s learning to love the person you found.

People blame their partners for their unhappiness and look outside for fulfillment. Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes.

Infidelity is the most common. But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances. But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your relationship. It lies within it.

I’m not saying that you couldn’t fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY you’d feel better. But you’d be in the same situation a few years later.

Because (listen carefully to this)

The key to succeeding in a relationship is not finding the right person; it’s learning to love the Person you found.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. You have to work on it day in and day out. It takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it demands WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make it work. Make no mistake about it.

Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your partner), just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. If you know how to apply these laws, the results are predictable.

Love is therefore a “decision”. Not just a feeling.

Remember this always: the universe determines who walks into your life. It is up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go!
