has there ever been something, or a multiple somethings, that you did that at the time you knew was right, and just, but then later - maybe after coming here - now makes it a little harder to sleep at night?

a lot of us come from places where we had to do a lot of shit we wish we didn't

but we could still tell ourselves we were doing the right thing

and i still think i was doing the right thing

but here i meet ghosts and i can't help but wonder if there wasn't another way

how do you deal with it, when you can't justify everything to yourself anymore? and that's not a rhetorical question, i honestly want to know




do you think earth has made you a better or a worse person

Well, good luck with that. Personally I think it's a splendid solution.

To be frank? Not a lot, no.


[As far as making sense goes.]

Looks like what you're doing is stripping things down and removing the context, then trying to see if the justification still holds up under bare bones scrutiny. Taking the war factor out of the actions you do in a war, in other words. Which is ridiculous, just so you know.

Become a pacifist then? See how that works for you.
