So I know this is kind of coming on the tail end of a big reveal I don't fully understand - I'm new here so I won't bother pretending I really understand everything about the bullcrap that just happened and ill leave that to the geniuses who do - but considering the reaction it to it brings up a question I've had for a while.

Can someone evil become good? Redeemed I guess is the word. And I don't want to debate crap like what evil and good is because if you don't know the difference you're an idiot.

I guess I just want to see if anyone thinks its something you can change about yourself. If someone who was always evil could eventually become good.

It's just

Interesting to think about I guess.

well, when i was growing up i lived on an island
my grandpa died when i was young, so i was all alone except for my dog
it was different in my dreams, though!
whenever i went to sleep i visited a kingdom called prospit
all the people there were purely good
there was another kingdom called derse, and in the prospitians eyes the dersites were purely evil
since i was so close to the citizens of prospit, i ended up thinking the same way...
so i grew up with a sense of black and white morality
literally, since the people were all based off chess pieces
once i started connecting with and talking to other people, though, i realized things werent that simple

wow...
now that im actually typing all this out, it sounds pretty silly and childish!

No.

I get it.

I don't think you can really start to get it until you do experience it. And good and evil always seem a lot easier when you have this scale of what they are.

It kind of sucks when you can't look at it that simply anymore. Sometimes I wish I still could.

oh
im glad it made sense, then!
and yeah, sometimes i do too...
but i think knowing is better than living in ignorance

It is.

But it's scary. I guess.

To think you might learn how great something is and then lose or forget it someway again.

To know that somewhere, in some dimension, you never learn or come out of that ignorance.
