Hahaha. And they might believe you. Unfortunately you can't save everyone. You see? If there was really a balance, then wouldn't there be enough kindness to make sure that no one freezes to death? But there isn't, is there? Some always fall through the cracks. Even though others who have more and do nothing cross their path every day. Probably, your highness far more often than you realize.
Who says I can't save everyone? If there isn't a way to do it then I'll find one no matter the cost. I'm too greedy to settle for half-hearted solutions.
Ah, did you want to hear praise? What a good fellow, out to take care of his own. How very kind. Sorry to disappoint you, but that's only one step above a coward. Everyone wants to take care of their own, and sacrifice everyone else's in the process. If I told you that destroying humanity was the key to the salvation of my family, would you stop fretting about it? Afterall, I'm just taking care of what's mine.
The intention behind it is important. You said you want to destroy humanity to save your family. I'm not going to justify your action and you're still as much of a monster as ever to me, but that's survival, not cruelty.
But even if I didn't, it makes no difference to those who I've killed. The fathers who will never see their daughters, the children who will never see their friends, the warriors who believed in and died for a goal that will never be achieved.
Do you think the fact that I enjoyed their deaths is really what they hate?
No. It's that their goals were crushed under mine.
It won't make a difference to those who died, no, but it makes a difference to me. Is it that much of a problem to you, that I can't agree on it being the same?
You were right in saying it's not for them. I'll admit that. But it's as far as I'll go.
We still agree. It's for you. I'm saying it doesn't have to be.
I've put some more thought into your question. I'm a good friend. A good brother. A good teammate. Not the best, but... well. Who is? And to be a good friend I'll hide my darkness from them. And to be a good brother I'll torture our enemies. And to be a good teammate I'll teach all other teams proper fear. And what's the difference between you and I? Nothing. Just that afterward you'll sulk and feel bad and I won't.

What big talk from a fellow who casually condemns anyone but his beloved friends.
no subject
If the price is everyone else's lives, I'm fine with that. It's not my place to care for them. Does this sort of talk work better for you?

... It's not like I wanted to hear praise. I just dislike how you paint things.

No, but you do load up on all of these unneeded worries.

What's the difference, if you do the same thing, whether you call it being a villain or being 'kind'?

That's right.
But even if I didn't, it makes no difference to those who I've killed. The fathers who will never see their daughters, the children who will never see their friends, the warriors who believed in and died for a goal that will never be achieved.

No. It's that their goals were crushed under mine.
And you would do the same.
