there's accepting someone else's opinion, and then there's "proving them right"

[foolishjustice]

I haven't killed anyone since I arrived here, have I? All I'm proving is that I'm not going to waste my energy arguing against someone who clearly seems to have made up their mind about me.

[(Anonymous)]

Yet by acting flippantly you give the impression you don't feel as guilty as you do.

Stop making yourself out to be a monster.

[foolishjustice]

I did already say that I don't expect whether or not I have regrets to matter to the people who hate me for what I've done, didn't I?

[(Anonymous)]

It seems more that you expect that those regrets don't matter.

[foolishjustice]

Well...it's not as though regrets will undo the suffering I've caused, or bring comfort to the ones my victims left behind.

[(Anonymous)]

No, but your regrets will spur you to show more compassion towards others and to help people in the future. And it shows you understand the seriousness and weight of your actions.

No one can change the past. And some are kind enough to recognize how fallible humans are, no matter how terrible the consequences of their actions.

[foolishjustice]

I'd think 'killed dozens of people' qualifies as more than simple fallibility. I certainly do my best to show kindness and help others when left to my own choices, but even one murder is a difficult sin to erase.

There you go.

[foolishjustice]

Mm, you make it sound so easy...

[(Anonymous)]

It is difficult to be honest with your feelings knowing that they may be rejected.

That doesn't make them invalid.

[(Anonymous)]

Yet you took the time to say something that was clearly worded in an intentional way...

Why not just ignore the assholes instead of wasting energy in any kind of way?

[foolishjustice]

If you don't acknowledge an attack, it just makes it seem as though it got to you so badly you don't even have a comeback.

[(Anonymous)]

then why not acknowledge it in a way that doesn't reflect badly on you? why throw gasoline?

[foolishjustice]

It's easier than fighting their opinion.

[(Anonymous)]

different anon but

i form my opinions of people as much based upon how they feel about their actions as the actions themselves

if i did not already know you, the way you act about it would give me a far more negative opinion of you than the actions themselves

killing is easy and can be done for any number of reasons

taking pleasure in killing, or acting like you do, is an entirely different thing

[(Anonymous)]

Killing is easy?

No offense, but that's a fucked up thing to say in the same way you'd list any other fact.

[foolishjustice]

Killing is simple, at least. The only way I would call it easy is if you ignore the effort of forcing back my feelings on the matter.

Smiling when I don't mean it, however, is quite easy. I have done it every day for the past several years, after all.
