<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I'm interested...once you find said ideals, of course.


The question I'm wrestling with right now is: How do you punish someone who inflicts death, the ultimate crime, without creating a new murderer?
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

That sounds...cool? I don't know how to react to that. You said it best. Naive.


I'm not so naive as to think that people will suddenly rally behind a cause they believe in. But I do think we can all agree on a set of standards that violate no moral codes. And those can allow us to escape the strong-beat-weak loop.
<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Good. You should be.


Ah, well, on subject, I'm looking for a way to use our mutual agreements to unify us behind one cause. And maybe it sounds naive, but I truly believe it can be done.
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

No. I'm more worried about being judged for it being destroyed. then I'll need to drop some more bodies. And I'm getting sick of that.


You seem perhaps over-acquainted with death. The deaths of others.
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Hm...I guess I could try. But I mostly feel bad for destroying my home. I feel bad for the sentiment. Don't know if you understand. Most don't.


Was your home a meaningful place to you?
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

My home universe, I guess. I'm over that. I was forced to destroy my multiverse...and that...well it weighs on me.


*Nods*
That must have been difficult for you. How could I describe death but as the personal, fully realized embodiment of that feeling of loss? Where not only one thing ends, but all things are torn from you.
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

It's hard for me to grasp the concept. I don't know why, but it is. I cause it often-I understand that it's bad-but I don't really know what it is in itself. All I know is: bad thing, not recommended.


Are you familiar with loss? Someone you cared about?
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Kinda. Any sort of end is vague to me.


What about the ends of others?
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

For me, nothing except my existence is permanent. This...well let's just say it's a blessing and a curse.


But you understand the premise, yes?
<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Mmm...Nope! I can't die, so I don't follow.


I did say it was a generalization, after all. Maybe it looks like something else to you. A permanent end of another kind.
