KARTE 004 || [ANONYMOUS TEXT]

Aug 27, 2010 22:47

[The Doctor is extremely shaken up by a certain someone's arrival, though he'd never admit it.]

[An anonymous text is sent to each Guide.]

What is worse, Thor?

A wicked man who pretends to be kind to get what he wants?

Or a virtuous man who does cruel things out of necessity?

I'm looking for the answer.

The first.

[Text] dr_kiriko August 28 2010, 04:51:53 UTC

And why?

[Text] princess_tenko August 28 2010, 14:03:00 UTC

It's simple. A lie is considered sinful regardless. But with selfish lies vs selfless lies, I would definitely feel the first is more evil.

Re: [Text] dr_kiriko August 28 2010, 16:46:57 UTC

Good answer.
But what if the selfish lie ends in one's life being saved?
What if the selfless lie ends in someone dying?

[Without hesitation.]

The first one.

Re: text dr_kiriko August 28 2010, 04:57:55 UTC

But why is that...?

text notpaid2dodge August 28 2010, 05:01:28 UTC

Pain eventually passes; intent matters more. The hurt lasts much longer with a true betrayal.

Re: text dr_kiriko August 28 2010, 05:03:20 UTC

But what if the wicked man is helping people who would have died without him?

I assume it would depend on the circumstances.

Re: Text dr_kiriko August 28 2010, 04:57:23 UTC

The first one helps to extort, exploit and torture.

The second is a murderer.

Re: Text wheresmyhouse August 28 2010, 04:58:19 UTC

But what is it the first desires?

And why does the second murder?

Re: Text dr_kiriko August 28 2010, 05:00:59 UTC

Revenge for a loved one who was brutally tormented and killed.

To end the suffering of those who do not deserve their pain.

They are the same.

dr_kiriko August 28 2010, 05:10:13 UTC

Good choice. Why?

gunpowderreason August 28 2010, 05:19:41 UTC

It is naive to imply that motivations matter when identical suffering is the result.

dr_kiriko August 28 2010, 05:25:36 UTC

That's right. But the first person's actions do not lead to suffering. The recipients of his empty gestures are given true happiness.

A bad hair day.

Re: [Video] dr_kiriko August 28 2010, 05:11:13 UTC

Touché.

[Video] maraihi August 28 2010, 05:14:10 UTC

Those other two are really so common... A lot of people really just go after what they want and pretend that they're good people. And a lot of people that everyone brands as bad aren't always that bad. I don't think I'd even blink an eye if I ran into either.

But a bad hair day. Now that can ruin the entire day.

[Kiriko feels comfortable revealing himself to Maraich. He turns on the Guide video and smiles.]

You have an interesting way of looking at things, my friend. I would say I have to agree... with every statement, that is. [He chuckles a bit.]
