Good and evil are veils of excuses around the complexity of humans' wants and needs.
what the fuck does any of that even mean?
good and evil are moral classifications of actions, mostly based on your frame of social reference. hence why murder is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and legally it has different degrees that make it more or less heinous, which comes with greater or lesser sentences.
That's what i tried to say. There's no universal good or bad. Only viewpoints.
oh, ok. the whole 'veil' thing was weird.
but i'm an asshole and pretty direct about my wants and needs. I don't veil much of anything. which does upset a lot of people who can't communicate effectively or directly. they tend to think i'm pretty evil with my 'hey can you do this thing' type of communication
