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.

Einstein said that the past, present and future happen simultaneously. People argue that present and future can change the past. Seems pretty mutable to me. If we are perceived as villains because people remember our actions, what happens to our "role" if people forget everything we've done?

Some bullshit theory don't change that they happened

Don't change that you know what you did, whether you feel guilty about it or not

I beg to differ.

The only reason our actions are cemented in reality is because people, ourselves and others, remember their effects on their lives. I am a great deal disappointed that those same people are less willing to investigate the cause of said actions. Perhaps they're frightened of what they'll uncover?

All that said, the human mind is a fascinating thing.

Sure is

You can watch people spin excuses for themselves for ages

[restingstitchface]

Oh, yes. And you can watch them be ignorant at the same time.

Ignorant of the anonymous asshole trying to find a loophole to keep being an asshole.

A loophole to avoid responsibility. One doesn't need an escape to be brutal. Back the right man into the corner and he'll fight.
