Now that is surprising. And the young woman takes his interested away from the art and onto herself proper. "You found your definition of evil within yourself?" Now how does that work exactly? "To know yourself as evil, would you not first need to know evil itself, to be bale to recognise that you are or were evil?" Of course these questions went around and around. Pancryptia has done a solid number on these has it not. And yet the question was oh so frustratingly tantalizing. There are things even for us that are true yet can tear at the sense of morality enough to drive mages mad or to dark practices. Surely then what I can do contains both good and evil? Not just in its application but in some universal way?

Now we are getting into some classic sociology. "Keep them happy you say, a reference to Marx perhaps?" True enough if you get a population content enough they tended not to cause as many issues as those who were less pleased by their situation. "We can consider North Korea in the modern day if your looking for a place in which information is restricted and populations are smaller then some other countries." While yes a great deal of the populace was effectively brainwashed. "Even in such brutal and systemic regimes there are those who push to escape to understand there situation is wrong and while unable to change it themselves at least seek to no longer be acting in support of it." Leaving room for her to offer a reprisal here he knew several existed. "From where hen do you think the term evil first arose? Would that offer us some insight into the meaning of the word?" How likely it is that the concept has been skewed and twisted from original purpose to fit a variety of narratives.

That discrimination was an abhorrent and appalling practice it seemed they were in agreement and it needed no further debating. "I would say I can from an educational standpoint or from a long distance away know these things yes but to have lived and experienced to have suffered and seen the true horrors first hand." What you need to really have a chance of knowing it. "No I do not know it." And it would an injustice to claim overwise.
