Grief, grief and memory, alone remain in exile.

Survivor guilt
[noun] /səˌvaɪ.və ˈɡɪlt/

difficult and painful feelings caused by the fact that you are still alive after a situation in which other people died

[𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 @Foresightsgen]

Yes, luckily it wasn’t too severe, but I do feel much better now.

[Scorching Sun @TheTaxiarch]

Good morning, I'm glad you've recovered, General.

[𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 @Foresightsgen]

Good morning. Absence was caused by illness, but I am alive now thankfully. *🙂‍↕️

[𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 @Foresightsgen]

Perhaps. Though then again, when any one person does it, it is once again flawed with biases. Perhaps if a group were to decide… but even then biases are inevitable. In that case, perhaps no matter what the world looks like, some problems cannot be fully solved.

[Scorching Sun @TheTaxiarch]

Don't you think that in order to resolve such a problem, we would have to flip the world itself upside down?

[𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 @Foresightsgen]

The world itself, hm? Well that is certainly a difficult thing to resolve blame with...

[Scorching Sun @TheTaxiarch]

Let's say, how a peson is "good" or not relies on their environment, experience and things outside of just themselves. If that's the case, how could we judge the "bad"? The fault lies in the world itself.

[𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 @Foresightsgen]

I see... in that case, do you believe it even possible to measure "good"? Or is it perhaps a concept best discarded for more objective approaches?

[Scorching Sun @TheTaxiarch]

You asked about what makes people think someone is good. Revaluation, if really happen, is a lengthy process. In normal everyday life, most people won’t think about such a thing and will just go for whatever is familiar to them.

[𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 @Foresightsgen]

And that aside, if no one ever thought they were wrong in any way, would anyone ever change? Does the fact that people do change not prove that people can reevaluate matters that previously they thought incorrect?

[𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 @Foresightsgen]

Of course, but even so, it is not as though the words evaporate into nothing. Even if only subconsciously, the brain will at least think about them and if it does that, then who’s to say it won’t affect future actions and ideas?

[Scorching Sun @TheTaxiarch]

People can hear, but often than not that doesn’t mean they will truly listen and willing to see another view different than theirs.

It’s understandable, really.

[𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 @Foresightsgen]

I think saying that everyone will simply dismiss other ideas from their own as fully wrong is too black and white a view for how mixed the world can be. Life is far too complicated to fully sort into “right” and “wrong, no?

[𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 @Foresightsgen]

@memendiem I fear there are very few people who could give you a satisfactory answer in such a case.

[𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 @Foresightsgen]

Hmm. If you don’t mind, please elaborate? Even if our morality differs, there is value in hearing other views.

[Scorching Sun @TheTaxiarch]

Normally, most people assign it based on first impression: politeness, hospitality, friendliness.

Going beyond it would then be a harder category, since our morality is often different.

[𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 @Foresightsgen]

@memendiem I don’t know.

[𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 @Foresightsgen]

What does make someone good in the eyes of others? Objectively speaking quite a few people would no longer be held in such good graces after all. *🤔

[𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 @Foresightsgen]

@memendiem I don’t think I pretend to be good, so much as it is the quality others prescribe to me.

[𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 @Foresightsgen]

@memendiem … I won’t do that. Not for you. I’m sorry, truly.

[𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 @Foresightsgen]

@memendiem You don’t honestly believe anyone would do that, right? For you?

[𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 @Foresightsgen]

@memendiem Though not like your case, there are many people who did not choose a certain condition or life they ended up with. Life simply isn’t fair at times… I’m sorry, but perhaps that is simply something you’ll need to come to terms with.

[𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 @Foresightsgen]

@memendiem Average…? I’m not too sure. You are, after all, a rather extraordinary case. Perhaps as such no matter what you do, you cannot be “average”.

[𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 @Foresightsgen]

@memendiem Perhaps you could… Most definitely you could delude me into believing you, no?
