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.

I suppose so, akthough I was referring to the local society in the first instance.

[helpline]

What, Heropa? Why do you care what Heropa thinks, it's Floridians. They're the most confusing type of humans to begin with.

[restingstitchface]

So they are, but I was thinking a bit wider than Florida. Human behavior does have patterns, after all.

[helpline]

Everything's got patterns. Patterns are part of life, after all, it's nature showing off for us.

[restingstitchface]

Patterns, then. Patterns of behaviour. If all patterns are nature, is the entire spectrum of human behaviour also down to nature? If so, then I fail to see how anyone can blame anybody for anything.

[helpline]

Dunno. Sometimes people have patterns of breaking patterns. Add in paradoxes like that and things get infinitely more complicated.

[restingstitchface]

And fascinating. Which is a crime around here, apparently.

[helpline]

What, paradoxes? No they aren't. And being fascinating isn't a crime either.

[restingstitchface]

If you say so. Though you might want to remind people of that.

[helpline]

I'll make a network post. FASCINATING PEOPLE COME BOTHER ME HERE or something like that.

[restingstitchface]

Why don't you? It would be interesting to see who responds, if nothing else.

[helpline]

Give me a bit. I'll have to come up with ideas for what the fascinating people and I'll do after they respond. Apparently I'm rubbish at things like "lying" and "censuses" so I'll need time to prep.

[restingstitchface]

That's perfectly fine. Take all the time you need.

[helpline]

By the way, if you don't respond to the fascinating survey, I'll be very cross.

[restingstitchface]

Very well. Doctor. Just remember to make it fascinating.

[helpline]

Will do, creepy text!
