: The Dark is wrong because their justification is faulty,
: just as the Light's is, because neither of them knows
: the complete truth, and neither can be objective
: because in the end it just comes down to "us vs
: them," and of course everyone is always going to
: choose "us" over "them" if that's
: all it amounts to.
: But they're not evil, because it's not like they came
: here from another world with the sole purpose of
: destroying our entire existance "just
: because". They're trying to undo the harm that
: was done unto them, so their motive is right, and
: based on the information they have, they are
: justified. But they can't be objective, and neither
: can the Light.
That whole thing refers to your storyline. I'm debating (and I'm pretty sure Griefmop is too) about Bungie's storyline.
: I put a gun to your head and say "Kill that random
: pregnant mother or I'll blow your brains out!"
: Are you saying it's OK to kill her just to save your
: own life? If you refuse, and die for it, the harm
: stops at you; if you kill the pregnant woman, then you
: are doing more harm in response to someone else's harm
: toward you, so the net result is even more harm, and
: therefore the action is wrong.
Of course I'd never do such a thing, but in the eyes of the law it is interesting, because if you did kill that random person, I'm pretty sure legally you can't be held responsible. I'm just pointing that out, again, I don't agree with that legal view. So of course I won't defend it. Just thought it'd be interesting to know.
