    Most if not all of these have one side that is clearly in the wrong. Real life is more complicated. Conflicts are usually gray vs. grey, with both sides having identifiable faults and justifications. But even then, if you spent all your time seeing the world from the perspective of certain designated protagonists you’ll likely sympathize with them anyway.

      While this is undoubtedly true, I think OPs post misses the point for a more depressing reason, people generally believe what they’re told to believe, thinking about things is hard and most people are exhausted.

      It’s you. You’re acts are evil. Everyone else. Shit, I live on a miniscule amount as an art and do very well because I’m obscenely lucky and have good people in my life still does it’s magick syphoning my act’s mana for it’s purpose.

      They are the best people I’ve known but they’re still evil. What they do they call a job. It’s someone else’s will and you can carry as much of the right kinds of things to do but none will ever unwrite your actions as anything but literally evil synchronized in servitude.

      You want to not be evil? Burn the dollar. There is no need to damage people. Just the Talisman.
