There's still trauma associated with death. It's not a pleasant experience for anyone, whether you come back or not.

[Text]

[freedomwires]

Why is it unpleasant if they return the next day? That person could die a hundred times over and still be revived. If anything, it should numb the person of trauma, because they always come back.

It's dying. Feeling your body break down around you isn't fun, no matter how many times you come back. And it's wrong in itself for someone to have to go through so much of that trauma that they become numb to it.

[Text]

[freedomwires]

What if they died painlessly? Why is it wrong to be numb to something like that? Aren't humans already numbed to death? They destroy and kill other things without mercy, without a second thought, and yet when a human kills another human, they suddenly feel wrong. It doesn't make sense.

[kan_chyan]

Because, though we will be revived, it still is painful to die. Also, even if you are revived, can you honestly say you really are alive? Perhaps when you lose your mortal life here, you become something else. Life should be cherished, even if you might get a second chance, no one knows how long those chances will last.

And still, if someone dies, those who loved them will be sad. Sad that someone they cared about had to suffer.

[freedomwires]

What if they died without pain? What if there was nothing else after life? It's true that life should be cherished, but do humans cherish lives other than theirs? Why should humans be the only exception to the supposed hierarchy of the circle of life, regardless of emotions and chances?

[kan_chyan]

They should, it's true some do not. But... that's for karma to sort out in the end.

[freedomwires]

An answer based on religion. The easiest answer, though not necessarily the most logical.

[bokuwadoctaaa]

. It's.... it's not right.

It's.... not a good feeling to see someone die. It hurts. Even if they will come back to life.

[freedomwires]

Why is it not right? Why do humans feel pain despite knowing the dead will return? I don't understand.

[bokuwadoctaaa]

[pause] It just doesn't.... seem right. I'm sorry that I can't really say why, but... I don't think anyone or anything should be able to keep someone from.... living.

Though I'm not human, I understand that you can become very... attached to other people, and things. And when you see that those things have been taken away from you, even if it's not for a very long time... it hurts. A lot. Because you lost something very important to you, even for a second. It's like... a part of you was gone for a little bit. And sometimes a little bit can be a very long time.

[freedomwires]

But the point of the matter is that what has left you will return. One day without a person who died is the same as any other day that you do not talk to them, or see them.

So why is it not right? What makes killing humans wrong? Humans kill things they consider lower than them, and yet I don't see any condemnation. So when something higher than a human kills one, it's suddenly controversial? Why?

[underthesakura]

I've asked similar questions of this populace before.

I hope you find the answers you receive as interesting as I did.

[freedomwires]

I have yet to encounter answers that truly amaze me. It's all the same, indefinite, sentimental responses.

What do you think, Seishirou?

[underthesakura]

I suppose sentimentalism of such responses is part of what amuses me. That, and seeing how many will flock to such questions with what they believe are answers.

I have little qualms with killing others, if the situation calls for it.

[freedomwires]

It gets boring after hearing it repeatedly. But I agree--it is interesting to see how far they will go to defend what they think is the true answer, when in fact, there is no perfect one.

Then we're the same. I didn't expect anything less.

[mansae]

When somebody dies it's only for a day?

So Japan's not dead!?

B-But...!

Audio ☆ English

[freedomwires]

Yes. The scientists revive them within 24 hours, and they apparently, return to the hospital in top condition.

There is a person named Japan here?

Audio ☆ English

[mansae]

Really? Then he should already be out! That means I have to go to the hospital! Okay, I'll do it!

[ Crash! Clang! He's a-walking and a-talking ]

I'm his aniki! He's -- uh -- really cold to me! But anikis have to stick with their little brothers no matter what!

I wouldn't know. I don't have siblings.
