[hugmyscythe]

I see, I see. Would it be strong, then

to kill without or with very little

reason?

[unknownrival]

No. That's foolishness.

[hugmyscythe]

Foolishness or pettiness,

those are reasons judgedby outsiders.

[unknownrival]

Why would you kill for very little reason when you could let them live and feel better about your own morality?

[hugmyscythe]

Morality istoo fickle to keepconstant.

[unknownrival]

So you should do away with it entirely?

[hugmyscythe]

If you know how to do away with the origin

of the problem,

would you nottake that chance?

[unknownrival]

It is more important to me that I preserve the ability to respect myself - the ability to stand for something more than just existing.

There are things I would kill for, but very few.

[hugmyscythe]

Killing fora duty aside,

would you indulge me

with telling for what you wouldkill?

[unknownrival]

The safety of my friends.

[hugmyscythe]

...As wouldI.

[unknownrival]

Then we have that much in common.

[hugmyscythe]

Hm...for that reason, perhaps I should killin advance?

[unknownrival]

No. That's a bad idea.

[hugmyscythe]

But if I have alreadybeen hurt...and someone else hasalready been hurt...

[unknownrival]

There are still other methods. Killing someone is a last resort, even with that motivation.

[hugmyscythe]

I would...I have already killed to protect others.

[unknownrival]

So have I.

[hugmyscythe]

It is a much simpler matter to me

to do so again.

[unknownrival]

I won't endorse it as a measure easy to be taken without consequence.

[hugmyscythe]

The benefit is thatyou prevent othersfrom those dearto you from being harmedin the future.

[unknownrival]

I know there's a benefit. I just won't endorse it freely.

[hugmyscythe]

Then what do you believeis the cost?[ metaphorically or otherwise ]

[unknownrival]

Self-worth.

[hugmyscythe]

And if neitherthe killer or the victimhave any worth to begin with?
