Whether a man is a criminal or a hero is a matter of perspective.

But if you don't want to play your role anymore, and are removed from your motivation for being who you are, what do you do? Do you seek redemption and rehabilitation and transform as an individual, or do you repeat negative behavior? How much do you believe people change only because they are imPorted? In short, do you believe people can change?

If I had anybody willing to discuss this in private with me, I assure you, I'd not be raising the issue publically.

Thank you in advance.

Necessity kind of means you still want to

Even if you only want to cuz it's better than the other option

[restingstitchface]

Pragmatism, in other words.

Nothing wrong with that.

[hostage]

Sure

It gives a nice comfy excuse to do really terrible shit and blame it on something else

[restingstitchface]

Sure.

You yourself changed your role, didn't you? Caused some "really terrible shit", I've heard.

[hostage]

I do whatever I feel like doing

So I guess if anything changed it's that I don't do what other people want me to do anymore

[restingstitchface]

Do you think this has brought you satisfaction? In short, has it made you happey?

[hostage]

Yes

[He's adding punctuation to that answer in spirit.]

I see. Thank you for your honesty.

[hostage]

Was it not what you expected?

[restingstitchface]

Not from you.

You are an enterprising man, are you not?

[A criminal, technically speaking...]

[hostage]

Sure am

[restingstitchface]

Yes, and many in your line of work practise the art of lying. That's why I find it refreshing - your answer freely given. Much less mess that way...
