Let me guess.  Richard--you're in the City today.  I doubt you would pass up an opportunity to be my ghost.  Abby...

I suppose this would be an opportune moment to pose questions to the universe at large, given the masses available to answer.  As such, do you, whoever you are, believe that there exists a true good and a true evil?  Is the world

Heavy questions.

[absinthe_eyed]

Do you have any answers? Thoughts?

[fifty_eggs]

I'm not the kind of guy to quote you a textbook. Pick one question first, and we'll go from there.

[absinthe_eyed]

How do you measure morality?

this is totally caf_pow_girl *uses her other Abby account*

[holy_caf_pow]

I demand hugs and any arguments about it will earn you forced cuddling for an hour.

<3!!!

[absinthe_eyed]

Abby.

Do you remember where the apartment is? I'll let you in. Shilo won't mind.

hi bb~

[holy_caf_pow]

I know right where it is.

i missed you ;-;

[absinthe_eyed]

I'll see you soon.

[As in, he will be at the door ready for a hug. A lot of crazy and unpleasant things have happened since Abby was here last and--although he won't say it out loud--he still misses her.]

No. Good is whatever the group in which you participate thinks is most beneficial for themselves, or the whole, or individuals, or what have you. Evil is what they consider malevolent. These definitions change drastically depending on the situation. Slaughter is good in war and evil in peace, and so it is with many other so-called "evils." As for good, the most benevolent of men have been killed because they go against what is considered "good" by society.

Humans can't make up their minds, because there is no mind to make up -- it is situation-dependent.

[absinthe_eyed]

Again, subjective.

There are some actions that most humans consider reprehensible. Are those actions evil?

[citadelspirit]

If one defines evil as "against the moral opinion of the majority," then yes. That is, until the majority opinion changes. If you have some kind of "absolute truth" standard, which I do not endorse, then your opinion may be different.

[absinthe_eyed]

I don't have a standard like that. The existence of ultimate truths would render philosophy obsolete.

You're not human?

[absinthe_eyed]

[Alas, this boy has seen little television.]

What?

[absinthe_eyed]

Are you working towards that extreme?

You know, I can't say I'm too worried about all of that anymore. I'm more interested in how you've been doing, Justin.

Lockon. It should be resolved, but circumstances change.

...You are? Oh. The... curses. Curses as usual.
