If the shoe fits, who am I to argue? I for one strive to be a decent person. That's one thing in my life I can't change. Don't want to change for that matter. But point stands. It's one of the select few black and white issues.
Right, it's black and white to you, which makes a ton of sense. But you're not the Lorax. You do not speak on behalf of anyone. Surely, you recognize that throughout the entirety of civilization, and the billions of people, their existed perspectives where it was not black and white, right? That your singular perspective in Abaris City from the years ????-2016 are not representative of the totality of human history seems intuitive, no?
