My dear child, you are quite missing the point. I detest repeating myself, so I am going to ask that you listen VERY CLOSELY to what I am about to say, every single word. If you attacked me, how many more people have you attempted to hurt in your efforts to make them stay "in-line" as a puppet? And how many were your precious "friends"? I am going to tell you right now this will inevitably happen again--
[ And he just waves the fork airily in her direction. He is speaking, here, from experience: it is better to throw away all those useless things if you are going to have a single goal than it is to say you will or won't have uncompromising morals. ]
If you are willing to continue your attempt to fight these people, you will have to forsake all of that and learn to cope with the fact you will be used to hurt the people you care about. You cannot say you will never hurt the people you love or use them, because you just did, did you not? You may wish to fight me on this front, you may wish to say "but that was not me," but we both know the truth, do we not? I am not saying you have to behave differently, what I am asking is this:
[ And now, he just leans back into his seat. ]
Are you truly fine with suffering that much? It would be easier, you know, to simply live your idealistic little life and let them run it. But if you continue this path, they will likely not allow that to happen; after all, you are already being watched.
