Re: Sometime Day 87

Eclipse: I don't know about judgemental
Eclipse: I'm probably not the best person to ask that since I largely agree with you about this
Eclipse: But I don't think you're saying it's wrong that people want to protect others so it's not like you're being an asshole
Eclipse: Anyway the kind of place we're in means hurting and killing other people is bound to happen at some point
Eclopse: Has already happened and will happen again in the future
Eclipse: And like you said there are people here where the whole murder thing isn't really an issue they're concerned with if it means keeping people they care about safe
Eclipse: Personally I think it isn't so much that people forget that others have loved ones as it is that people don't really care
Eclipse: I don't even mean that in a bad way, it's just kind of how people work
Eclipse: In a situation where lives are on the line it's pretty natural to prioritise people you care about over ones you care less about
Eclipse: Though obviously how a person handles that sort of thing varies
Eclipse: So I guess then, there are people who will tell it as it is so to speak, and it doesn't feel like they're trying to pretend what they did wasn't selfish or an asshole move
Eclipse: And people where the whole 'loved ones' thing sounds like they're dressing up what happened to make it sound better and nobler than it actually is



Eclipse: Is that the part that bothers you? When it feels like people are dressing it up?
