You really don't understand what I'm trying to say, do you? I have no problems with Phoebe using her empath ability for emotional manipulation when faced with immediate danger for herself, her sisters or an innocent.

But in regard to dealing with grief, a person should deal with it naturally.

Do you now understand what I'm trying to say?

“Without the darkness, how would we recognize the light? Do not fear your negative thoughts. They are part of you. They are a part of every living being, even Vulcans. To pretend it does not exist is to create an opportunity for it to escape.” – Tuvok (“Star Trek Voyager”)

ALL OF THEIR POWERS ARE CAPABLE OF BEING ABUSED. ALL OF THEM. The series has proven this time and time again. And their abilities can also be genuinely helpful. Why are you singling out Phoebe's empath ability as the only one open to abuse? This makes no sense to me. Yes, the ability manipulate another's emotions can be abusive. It can also be helpful in self defense. It depends upon the situation. Why are you trying to place this particular ability in some kind of restricted box?
