Are any of you familiar with Carl Jung? If not, then I suggest you do.

But that is not my reason to come to you today. Rather it is to, perhaps, open your eyes should you chose to do so.

What makes good, good and evil, evil? Should both be simply placed as one or the other? If the 'evil' become the ruling force, would the rules be reversed? If someone steps up to remove a tyrant, are they doing good, or, in the eyes of others, are they being the ones who are evil?

...Or are we what makes these forces exist in the first place? Can good be really called good if there is no evil to defeat, no goal for them to attain?

You were all called here for a reason, but should you believe one side...or the other about what is the truth? As we become more enlightened, we tend to forget what came before. And as history has a tendency to repeat itself...

A man looks above to the nearby mountain. He knows not how it was made, and therefore decides that a god put it there. Is this man false? Scientifically, perhaps, we know that mountains are produced by the movement of lithospheric plates. Yet when we knew nothing of this, we saw the truth in a god. And so, this idea is born and now exists. Man gave it power, and the ability to create the mountain is now that god's.

Personas are reflections of a character's inner self, yet they are the gods, demons and powerful creatures of our worlds.

So then...can a man become a god...or was he always one?

What is the purpose of such inane ramblings?

From what I can tell, it's probably hints about why we're here in the first place.

From what I can gather, they're implying that this is some sort of experiment between the definition of 'Good' and 'Evil'. Wonderful. I loathe those debates.

Preaching to the choir, dude.

[Something's bugging him, though. Why mention Jung and then drop the subject a sentence later? Weird...]

[There's a bit of silence on Yamato's end for a long moment]

Although it appears to not be just about that. There are other subjects within the somewhat disjointed rant. Carl Jung and discussion of man's supposed ability to transcend-- Why am I paying attention to it? At most it would just lead into a philosophical debate I care nothing for.

[He's had enough of philosophical debates from Alcor during childhood okay]

Kind of doubt we were brought here just for a debate. Something's fishy.

I concur. Whatever power took us here would not be content with mere discussions of morality. Unless, of course, they decide to settle it in some other way... Possibly a la The Book of Job.

Thought.

[Somehow Yamato managed to cram a thousand tonnes of disdain into that sole word. How did he do it.]

You're attempting to prompt a discussion on morality, which is ridiculous in and of itself. Good and Evil is something that cannot be measured, as human perspective is constantly coloured by individual bias. There is no clear cut answer for it. Asking these questions will just prompt slews of answers from people that just contradict one another for all eternity. It would be about as enlightening as asking Shijima to give his thoughts on the current economic climate, or politics.

And yet it is enlightening to see what others answer. One can determine much from an individual with just a few questions.

I was never looking for a clear cut answer.

So your purpose was to simply learn more about random people that responded? I doubt a few opinions on something like this would gather much information about them.

I would not call anyone who responds to this "random". After all, you have all met Philemon and wield the power of Persona.

It does not necessarily mean that their opinions are interesting.

Perhaps not to you.

Very well. I will leave you to your dubious entertainment.
