thismaynotmakesense..it was 2am;
aeron:do you think people are inherently good or evil or both?
me:both.intent to do good,motive to do evil.
aeron:i agree for most people but what about people like the nazis and stuff that can bring themselves to do horrible shit?
me:for people like such,its the same.in their psyche theyre convinced theyre doing good by ridding the earth of people who arent aryan.the intent is to be good.the outcome,reason and execution overshadows that with their subconscious evil.its the same for everyone basically,just different extremes
aeron:i agree for some people but not everyonethey say they thought of them as dogs but could you ever imagine doing something like that to anything?
me:no,because its not who i am,but remmber one word;propoganda.
aeron:do you think anyone could make YOU want to or justify anything like that?you can always say other people would but could you ever be one of them?
me:hmm,its questions like these that make people get really defensive but il answer honestly,im not saying i could but at the same time im not saying that i couldnt
aeron:oh i know i am capable of terrible things but i cant comprehend being tricked like that
me:that’s the thing.you can’t in full honesty say you couldnt be tricked into doing such unspeakable things.no matter how upstanding you are as a personyou never know.if,daily,you were fed with such blasphemy of how your world sucks due to one group of people can you really say that you wouldnt have just alittle bit of hatred toward them?nevermind the fact that we both know it isnt true.
aeron:i dont think i am uncapable of stuff like that i just..my imagination fails me trying to imagine something like this
me:the fact that you cant imagine it is greatly understandable,the point is that you realize that under the right circumstances you are capable
aeron:but if my imagination cant comprehend it could i really be capable? i dont know
me:sure you could,i think with humans we train ourselves to not being able to think of ourselves as ‘the bad guy’ sotospeak, thus it being really hard and damn there impossible to register that in our imaginations.in this case yours.i think you could be capable,as well as any of us.
im sorry if none of this makes a bit of sense.i was too tired to be philisophical.
