I have a question for everyone here; do you think the ends justify the means, no matter the cost or are there times when the means can never justify the end results?

What do you think?

That there are times when you have to set aside your own personal ideals and values to do what has to be done, even if it doesn't seem right at the time.

There you are. Would any of our opinions change your mind?

You never know. [After all, his mind was changed once before though he knows that back home he made the right decision. But that's not why he asked the question.]

Maybe not. Still, you sound as though you've experience to support your belief. I think it would take more than a few impassioned words from [naive children] us to make a dent.

I've accepted the choices that I've made before, choices I'm sure other people have made in their on way. I asked because I am wondering what others think based off of their own experiences. [And to have a better idea of how to gauge Euphy's reaction.]

I expect the response will be fairly predictable.

Well, of course -- there are some things that just can't be forgiven. Anyone would tell you that, right?

[But would he? (Sometimes, he doesn't even care about the end).]

This will sound like a contradiction but there are also people that will say if you don't do something that's unforgivable, not doing it is will lead to an even greater even and that in itself is unforgivable.

Who decides what is and isn't forgivable, what is and isn't greater?

The easy answer is to say that's for someone to decide for themselves, but nothing is ever that simple. People within a society should be allowed to decide that as a collective while.

[Suzaku wouldn't deny what Lelouch and him did was selfish, but in the end it allowed society to start over and make new laws that better served the new world that was created in the aftermath.]

If people can be trusted to make that kind of decision.
