Humans are cowardly parasites who care only about themselves.

Hate to burst your optimism bubble, buddy, but that's kind of just part of having different opinions. Sometimes one viewpoint is so different than the other that it causes them to clash.

Sometimes, it's about revenge for a perceived or real sleight, sometimes it's preemptive paranoia, sometimes it's careless miscommunication, sometimes it's plain old sadistic pleasure, and sometimes, it's prideful elitism.

One time, it was even someone having been bored of doing literally everything else for the six trillionth time and had never done something like that before.

But whining about this isn't going to help you at all. You can choose to wallow in your grief for eternity or you can just accept it as part of life.

ive met people who are kind

really kind

but then theres some people who just seem to want to hurt others

[amnesiadragon]

i understand most of those words

i think

but why do peopjle end up in situations that are like that? how come some people are like that and others arent?

That is a very complex question. And there are a lot of reasons.

But Darkness exists in the Hearts of many, and it can often drown out the Light.

But there are those who are able to overcome it. And help each other.<.font>

Mortals who engage in that sort of behavior are often blinded by their own greed or aspirations. They see only what is in front of them, in the short term.

Though cannot the reverse be said as well? What is it that motivates others to work towards the benefit of one another?

Can that, too, not also be motivated by selfish desires?

If you wanna go peacekeeper, then by all means, go right ahead! Just don't overextend your reach, which may cause others to try and stop you from hurting yourself, or push too hard to keep everyone in line, because some may view that as tyranny and hurting people.

Like I said, the world is complex. Everything from the best of bests to the nastiest of nasty exists, along with everything in between.

They aren't here right now, but I imagine Frisk would be proud of you.

lots of reasons.
mostly because they dont understand others.

they were raised to hate people who were different themselves.

there are good people
sometimes you find them easier
sometimes you gotta look for them

this place has good people in it tho

Short answer is because they care more about themselves. Whether or not they deserve it depends on how you look at things.

And sometimes that's just the position you're stuck in.

Ambition, greed. Conflicting ideas. Sometimes there really isn't a reason.

Oh, and can you tell on sight who "deserves" to be hurt? Can you be certain your judgement is correct? How do you determine who "deserves" it? And can you control every single person's anger? Their pain? The many, many reasons humans hurt others? What will you do if you can't? What will you do if your attempts to stop someone from being hurt hurts someone else?

You're naive.

[amnesiadragon]

i dont want to push other people

but innocent people get hurt for no reason adn that doesnt make sense

i want to help make a world where that doesnt happen

whos frisk?

[amnesiadragon]

what does darkness have to do with anything?

but i want to help other people its the right thing to do

[amnesiadragon]

but why are they greedy? i dont understand

and i dont know why people act good other than the fact that it makes everyone happy

why would being good be selfish?

[amnesiadragon]

ive met some good people here alredy but its still confusing why some people wouldnt be good

if they dont understand why dont they just ask? why do they hate people?

[amnesiadragon]

why does it have to be? why cant we make a world where everyone can be happy?

[amnesiadragon]

whats ambition mean?

if there isnt a reason to be mean why would they do it?

[amnesiadragon]

[This? This is not the kind of response he was expecting. It's like someone yelling at him, except he's reading it.]

[... It takes a minute to respond.]

so you think children who havent done anythign wrong deserve to get hurt? im trying to understand why people hurt others and just because your angry or hurt doesnt mean its an excuse to hurt someone else?

i know that trying to stop someone from being hurt can hurt someone else i remember what happened before i fell asleep do you think im proud of hurting other people? because im not i wish i could redo things and make it so that i only targeted that specific person

its my responsibility even if i hvaent been around that long that doesnt mean i can hurt someoen else who hasnt hurt me furst first thats not the kind of god i want to be

i dont know what that means

[Well, this certainly hit a bit of a sore spot for her.]

Some people just deserve it.

Simple as that.

[amnesiadragon]

but why?

[threebetrayals]

Oh you're a god. Then some advice, from one failed god to another.

Don't bother trying to figure it out. It won't matter, in the end. Nothing you do, nothing you figure out, is going to make a difference. Every single thing you do is going to hurt someone. Every thing! And even if you could go back and redo things, it wouldn't matter.

[Ask him how he knows.]

Just accept that humans can be the worst people you'll have have the misfortune of knowing and don't worry about the whys.

[amnesiadragon]

ive met good people truly good people who just want to help

everything i do will make a difference it has to people are relying on me

maybe i was summoned the wrong way by accident but maybe it was to do more than just conqer

mortals shape us and we shape the world in turn thats what i was told

[your_best_friend]

I just told you reasons why. There's always a reason for why people do anything they do, even if it is a very bitter pill to swallow. Just sitting there and not understanding why makes you lazy. If you want a reason, ask them.

Frisk is

[There's a very noticeable delay before the next words are written.]

someone who I knew for a little while, but their pacifism genuinely helped save an entire civilization of species AND freed them from being trapped in a place that they've been trapped in for a very long time.

[amnesiadragon]

i dont understand the reasons you told me they dont seem like reasons to hurt other people to me

but i havent been around for very long so i guess i dont really understand a lot of things and im trying to ask them

i want to help save people too

[threebetrayals]

Oh there can be good people in the world, but the ones who aren't outnumber them more than a thousand to one. [Niwa deserved better.] And you can hope and wish to make a difference, but in the end, you can't really know, can you? You can never know if it's a positive difference or a negative one, if you made one at all. So why bother worrying about it?
