What do you think is worse:

Someone who hurts other people for their own selfish reasons and admits it?

Or

Someone who hurts other people but says it's for a good cause?


- Starly

Action/

[It's been a long treck to get here, and one can find Red by Sprout Tower just sitting by the water and tossing bread out to the local Duckletts. Two Growlithe and an Electrike are napping around her. They've just finished a long journey so they're allowed to relax.]

[It's a rather peaceful scene, if you can ignore the Kricketot that might suddenly run up to you with its antennae clicking together.]

It's dependent on the individual. We're all shaped by our experiences and desires and those core things that make us who and what we are. And our thought process are as well.

I knew someone who caused great hurt in the name of the higher good. Because they believed their actions were making the world a better place. Another who did so because they believed they simply believed the world would be a better place without certain factors. I've known others who's actions were much the same, but for their own personal ambition and desires. But each one's ambition and desire was born of something different - professional ambition, spiritual, monetary, a painful self doubt and need to prove themselves, a belief that their actions will bring happiness and are therefor justified...

Every one was different, despite the similarities. The things that cause a person to hurt others are myriad and numerous. There's no one path of thought that leads to the end.

Good point. Even people who team up together for a common cause have different reasons and methods, even if they say they agree with everyone else.

The same destination by different roads.

Even if they come to the same conclusion, they've done so through different ways of thinking and due to different influences and experiences.

The product of free will.

And then they get all bothered when other people's free will doesn't end up going to that same conclusion.

Because conclusions other than those they've reached are 'wrong' in their eyes.

They know best. It's an egotistical standpoint.

And sometimes the honest group thinks that makes them better than the other group.

Egos all around.

A certain sort of personality can cast shadows of ego on anything and everything.

The human mind is fascinating.

I guess so.

Thanks for the thoughts.
