There are two sides ta every coin. More than one side ta most stories too. It's hard ta see all the sides an' really sometimes ya just don't even wanna bother. Sometimes it helps ta look at all the sides, others it just clouds the issue; muddies the water an' makes ya start thinkin' things ain't the way they really are. Ya gotta be careful when that happens. It's entirely too easy ta lose yourself in another person's game. Especially when they're really good at tryin' ta show the world their point of view.
Just cause someone can talk passionately about somethin' doesn't mean they actually know what they're talkin' about. Just means they're good at speakin'. Ya gotta look at the actions behind their words. Do they actually add up ta be the same or is there a significant distance between the two? If there is a difference run away as fast as ya can. They're only wantin' ta use ya then.
That's what Magneto did ta me. Pretty words about helpin' out mutants an' then tellin' me that my sacrifice was worth it. An' when I asked him why the hell he couldn't power his own damn machine I get told that the world needs generals.
Ya know what that really means? He wasn't prepared ta make the ultimate sacrifice of himself for his own cause. He was fake an' that's why he failed.
