Do you have a nemesis?

And before I get the chatter about 'well isn't this post ominous' or 'my nemesis is posts like these', you all seem like a very colorful sort that live unique lives back home. Besides, it's an adequate way to look out for people who might be dangerous in upcoming months.

I was five. I knew that it was wrong to hurt animals, but I didn't have the grasp of thinking of ants as animals as much as things. Children are quite cruel.

I don't pour candle wax on ants anymore, no.

Not all children.

[There's a pause between these lines.]

But that's good to know.

[mirakills]

Is that so.

[ Bernkastel's upgraded from ants. ]

I'd argue that there's a base potential for cruelty in anyone, but some people might instead call that the good and evil argument.

[athiefalways]

Maybe so.

[There's a pause.]

Maybe I just like to think we're all better than that, and that children are the most innocent among us, not the most cruel, that evil isn't born, and our morals don't keep that depravity in check, that there's just as much goodness in us as not.

...

You're an idealist, I see?

[ No point not pointing out the truth. Bernkastel believes the opposite. Anything can be shaped, influenced, made into cruelty, as she herself is an example. ]

The world needs a few idealists. After all, every good change the world's ever seen started as someone's ideal.

The same could be said for the bad ones, I know, but everything started as someone's fantasy. They just mustered the strength of will to make it reality.
