I have noticed many amongst us appear concerned about Ruana's next step, namely her siphoning of the souls left on dead worlds.

I can and do understand the will to oppose Ruana, I encourage it. However, this desire I have witnessed of saving the lost souls is quite intriguing, if not misplaced. The vast majority of these souls are people we have never met and will most likely never meet. For that matter we did not even know they existed before stepping into this tower, nor did we have any thoughts for them before seeing that message.

They have had whatsoever no impact on our lives and never will they have any. Nothing binds them to us and what fate will befall them, ultimately is none of our concern. It is their own fight while we have our own fights. Hence I have only one question:

Why do you care?

How often does one accomplish what they feel is the right thing to do and yet only accomplish disaster?

You have demonstrated what I thought. You have no reasons to help them, you're just following some sort of 'common sense' that is only sensed in name. And that will lose you. And everyone else in this tower.

well I have to do what I think is the right thing, that's what England told me, and if everyone does it then we won't lose

[great_king_of_evil]

Did not that England also tell you to use your brain to reason? I can respect doing what you think is right, I cannot if you don't know why you think so.

If everyone does it, that simply means everyone will be doing a huge mistake and then you will really lose.

well if we don't do something they'll all die, and they shouldn't have to die for this place

[great_king_of_evil]

Yet if you try to save them all, none will be saved.

Think to it in simple terms. There are a million people threatened. Saving them all is impossible. Wouldn't it be more intelligent to try and save yourself, and a small number if that suits you, than focus on the impossible?

[colonial]

if I had to I'd only save me and people important to me but I'd still try to save all the million people while I was doing that cause you don't KNOW it's impossible

[great_king_of_evil]

Yes I do. Thanks to a very simple thing called 'reality'. What you live in yet what everyone here appears to be purposefully ignoring.

Beautiful words, but with what is at stake, the idea to save everyone is something you would find only in ancient stories for children.
