23rd Life Saved

[totallyyourhero]

People are really interesting. They treat two people differently under the same circumstances and it's confusing.

Of course, most of the times I end up being confused by why I do things. I want to help people but all but a very few times I end up doing more damage. Or someone stopped me from doing it just in time. I'm sure any normal person

I believe you may have just explained the reason everyone with a will to live continues to sally forth, Peter.

[totallyyourhero]

That hope that things will be better in the future?

[gobrotherhood]

Precisely. And whether or not one fails in the present is no indicator of their success in the future.

What's troubling you?

[totallyyourhero]

At what point does it become an indicator though?

[Private/Unhackable]

Family things.

[gobrotherhood]

When you let your resolve be shaken, I would imagine. It hasn't happened to me yet.

[Private/Unhackable]

I see. I'm willing to be a listening ear, if you need someone without a personal bias to hear you out.

[totallyyourhero]

I guess. I'd just rather my failures not involve putting so many other people at risk.

[Private/Unhackable]

No, it's okay. I'd just basically be complaining that life isn't fair.

[gobrotherhood]

Risk is an element of life that even the powerless among the humans cannot avoid, Peter. The stakes may be higher for you, but the game is the same.

That sounds like the familiar lament of youth. You know my offer stands, if you should change your mind.
