Fade said:Any act of violence serves no purpose other than to create more violence around it. Each act brings us closer to killing ourselves. I have chosen to remove myself from that cycle. I have chosen to consider the best interests of my people, rather than the selfish best interests of my body. Protecting your family has nothing to do with your love for them, and everything to do with your inability to cope with the loss of your own support structure. That is the superficial, shallow love that we have learned the feel when faced with rigors and pain of this life.
In the bit I underlined you seems to heavily contradict to the other things you stated, especially this one:
Fade said:I am above, beyond, and outside this system. I will not have my choice stolen, nor will I take it from others. If our world is to become what I hope it can be, then we have to start somewhere. People have to stand firm in their resolve to not be a part of the corrupt, wicked system that has laid it's hand on all our lives. I figure, it might as well start with me.
Don't you recognize that the things you said here (I love them) are really selfish. It's your choice, world, and hope.
And I suppose there is nothing more selfish, than saying "no" when someone asks you to kill another person.
