It seems we're all stuck here together like one big happy family, aren't we? Since that's the case... how about we play a little game to get to know each other?

What is most important to you in your entire life? What would you be willing to do anything for? And I do mean anything~

And please, nothing like 'friendship' or 'world peace.' Really dig down deep; we should all be honest with each other, don't you think? ❤

[feel free to answer the question or not, Joshua seems to just be very bored. what a chatty nerd!]

Call me a modern day Socrates.

[don't call him that.]

I'm certainly not going to go to the ends of the earth just to ask a few little questions!

But that sounds about the gist of it.

Isn't that what you'd want to ask about most, though? A question you don't even have an answer to?

I'm not a nosy bastard like you are so No In the first place if there's something that damn important anyone wants that badly They should fucking go for it with no giving up anything required

Well that's just no fun. There's nothing wrong with being a little nosy.

A fine sentiment. But completely impractical.

Life isn't all candy and roses, you know. Sometimes sacrifices are unavoidable.

You think I'm a candy and roses kind of guy or what?? I'm not the sacrificing type how about that???

I mean, if you think you can go through life without sacrificing anything, then yes, I would say you're a candy and roses kind of guy.

Which isn't to say you should be willing to immediately sacrifice anything, of course. But it's an unavoidable possibility.

Oh please If you're sacrificing something it means you're incapable of reaching your goal by yourself Like hell should that be unavoidable

You're right, it shouldn't be unavoidable. And yet it is, all too often. That's just the reality of life.

Is your only answer to that to keep denying it? Does denying that an earthquake can destroy a building stop it from happening? If that's the case, then you truly will never be able to climb over that wall.

[ fuck...... the truth is joshua is probably right, he just barely has the awareness to realize this but he is this hellbent on victory at any cost he'd barely even recognize that as a sacrifice himself when the point is winning, always. ]

Yeah well fuck that shit like that's even a comparison If there's an earthquake you fucking rebuild Like hell is that supposed to be a sacrifice in any way I'm not in denial of any damn thing I'll achieve anything my own way

Hmm... how about I explain it this way? Of course, if there's an earthquake, you rebuild. But the first building is still gone.

Let's say there's an earthquake, and you have the power to save one of two buildings, but ONLY one. No 'oh, I'll just do my best to save both!' or anything like that. They're on opposite sides of the city, and you can only save one. They're both full of the same amount of people, and you know the one you don't save if going to be leveled to the ground with everyone inside.

You can send people to try and help out the people in the other building, of course, but it's impossible to say if you can save them all. No matter which you choose, one of them is going to fall, and someone's going to die. You can't simply reject the fact that that's going to happy. Or-- you could, but then you'll be denying the death of a loved one of someone who's friends or family are in the other people.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't try. And maybe people helping you can still save most of the people in the other building, but the building is still gone. It can contain someone's home, or their livelihood. Something is still lost.

Of course, it's obviously better to sacrifice one building than to not save either of them at all. You see what I mean?

You sure like to listen to yourself talk [ or... type. WHATEVER. ]

Look asshole you can spew shit about hypotheticals all you want Still a fucking flawed argument because if that disastrous shit happens? IT FUCKING HAPPENS Choosing one option over the other doesn't mean you sacrifice the other Saving one group of people over the other doesn't mean you sacrifice the other unfortunate bastards It means doing what you must with all the power that you have Sacrifice means giving something up you'd rather keep, it means regret, it means trading something you'd rather not to achieve victory If I'm giving up ANYTHING I'm not going to regret a damn thing because whatever it is better be fucking worth it or else I'm not gonna give a damn In that case it's not going to be sacrifice It's just gonna be one more step to victory

But aren't you choosing one or the other?

I suppose you could simply call it 'collateral damage.'

What if it was the same, but one of you friend's was in one building, and another was in the other?

I wonder what it must be like, living in such a simple-minded world? I could almost envy you if you weren't so... well, you.

I mean I literally fucking just said choosing one over the other isn't a sacrifice And it literally can't be collateral fucking damage if I'm not the one dealing the damage You can make all the wild ass what-if choices if you want to bullshit all you want without making a decent argument Guess you'd be envious of me if you literally can't fucking read and I can
