Now that I can get something more substantial than chicken broth down

One's actions, one's reasons, and one's perspective. I suppose.

[bloodseal_soul]

So there's no universal good and evil?

It's all just perception and perspective?

[iceandivory]

If any universal truth does exist, I don't believe we can know it as truth. You will never get everyone to agree with any one thing. Especially where ethics and morals are concerned.

[bloodseal_soul]

I guess you're right about that. Everyone's different, and every person changes over time and through experience.

But how does one decide for themselves what's right and wrong?

[iceandivory]

...

I guess, they simply make a choice. Based on their own personal experiences and the experiences of others.

[bloodseal_soul]

What about committing a crime, a horrible crime, to prevent something even worse from happening?

[iceandivory]

...Ah.

Could this "something even worse" have been prevented by less drastic means?

[bloodseal_soul]

Not as it was given to my understanding.

[iceandivory]

Would you rather have seen what happened or what might have happened?

[bloodseal_soul]

... I honestly don't know.

[iceandivory]

Then you're going to have to decide. That's all there is to it.

[bloodseal_soul]

They say bravery is not the absence of fear, it's the process of working through it.

If my confusion is anything to go by, maybe when all this is over I'll understand better than anyone.

[iceandivory]

They're right. The absence of fear is stupidity. Hmph.

...Ah. Well ... that's the point, isn't it?

[bloodseal_soul]

[Al laughs. It sounds like the first time in a while.]

Guess so. I'm a scientist, everything is about learning. But I've spent so much time analyzing chemicals and physics that I'm really confused about figuring out my own heart.

[iceandivory]

One step at a time ... I suppose.

[bloodseal_soul]

... guess so.

Hitsugaya? Where are you from?
