  • Right or wrong definitely exists. Unless you’re keen on being the Devils advocate for child rape. I’d say that is completely and utterly Wrong.

    He wants what’s best for the most people, everything he does is good, he does everything he can to relieve peoples troubles. His head is in the right space, he just has the passion and bravery to apply actions to it. It’s selflessness, and it’s a bit of self neglect.

    • No they don't. Whether you see things as bad or good is only a point of view. People wouldn't do things if they tought they were bad in the first place. It's not because you and I define child rape as wrong that everyone do. Therefore, it's a subjective notion and do not exist in reality.

      No, he wants the world to be like HE wants. Nothing to do with selflessness, it's just Ego.
      Someone that is selfless care about helping people but he doesn't NEED it to exist. Your friend obviously does.

      • A child: “Ow I hurt my knee :(“
        My friend: “Oh here, have a bandaid :)”
        DIO from the Internet: “THE AUDACITY OF THIS EGOTISTICAL ASSHOLE”

        He lives to help others, not force them to act a certain way, these people ask for help in the way they want help, and he follows through with it.
        I fucking dare you to try to shame such actions. He doesn’t WANT to help, he feels that it’s his DUTY to help others/animals. He sees them struggle, and wants to make it better for them. How can you knock that?

        The people benefitting from this are in PERFECT condition with the arrangement. The only person who is being harmed is HIMSELF.

        The victim here is only him. You are reading this incorrectly.

        It’s obvious the only person you’ve ever looked out for is yourself. You wouldn’t dirty your tires to avoid running over a kitten. You have no ruling in this situation as it’s far above you. I can’t teach calculus to someone who doesn’t know basic math.

        • Dio is a serious dick about things, not even in a joking manner, just ignore it.

        • I really like the way you portray me. It was really funny, thank you!

          He does want to help them. Or else he wouldn't. Whether he thinks it is his duty or not is another matter.
          As you're saying "He sees them struggle, and wants to make it better for them." Who wants? HIM. HE WANTS.
          As long as you want something, it is the ego talking. Whether it's wanting to "help" people or to kill them, it's still something you're doing for yourself. I know it is hard to understand especially if you're never studied philosophy but this is how it is.

          I'm not shaming him at all, I'm merely stating things how they are. Devoid of emotional bias.

          It's okay to help people that ask for it. But the way you're descibing your friend makes it seem like an unhealthy obsession for him.

          I look out for a lot of other people, because I want to. I'm just not fooled by the illusion of doing this for others like you seem to be. I would rather have an accident with another car than run over a kitten. Because I want to. I couldn't hurt a cat.

          Don't be fooled by your ego. Try to look at things without your emotional bias.

          • Thanks. I’ve been told I’m a funny guy.
            Find then, let’s say that his generosity and selflessness is indeed a case of an “inflated ego”. Are you saying this is a bad thing? You sound like you stand for nothing, that the only beliefs you have are that having beliefs is a weakness. Stand for nothing, fall for anything.

            And yes, his generosity harms him. His activity is constant and it makes it impossible for him to ever settle down or take a break. He used to be a super buff dude but traded the gym for more charity hours and slimmed up. He has a very nicely paying job but only works half time so all of the spending on others takes a tax on any sort of savings.

            His heart is absolutely in the right place, he’s a godsend, sainthood worthy. BUT. It stopped being, “I want to help” and started becoming “I have to help” and that’s the trouble. He is in trouble. He doesn’t help himself enough and I’ve had my suspicions that he’s turned to stimulants to keep up with his schedule.

            • Not an inflated ego, just a regular ego.
              Well, from what you're telling me, it seems to be a "bad" thing for him. You can help others without harming yourself.

              Having beliefs is not a weakness itself, the weakness is thinking those beliefs are real. Reality does not care about what we believe or not. They're called beliefs for a reason. They are only real in our mind.

              As you said, as soon as the "I want to help" became "I need to help", it's falling under the obsession side and is unhealthy.
              Nothing good will come out of it for him and potentially for the people he is "helping".

              You seem to be a smart fella, I think you understand.

              • Argh. I get your point and really you’ve just been agreeing with me this whole time. I’ve just been fussy about how you like to say certain things. And I think you’re morally absent but that’s besides the point.

                I’m bathing in your compliments, really I am, you would’ve won yourself a big kiss by now if you weren’t such a sourpuss about everything else. I’ll think about all the sweet things you’ve told me tonight while I stroke my thick ego.

      • The world does need to be fixed. Right and wrong are set in stone. I am the true antithesis to you, not him. Right must be done, for in lack of right, there is wrong. Wrong is sin; sin is evil; sin leads to torment in the fiery depths of Hell.

        • You're talking about a mental and cultural construct. I'm talking about real life.
          There's no right and wrong in real life. In nature.

          • Nature and humanity are two different things. Humanity was made to observe and protect nature. Right and wrong are still set in stone.

            • Humanity doesn't exist either. It is what you think it is. Not something real.
              There's no right and wrong and nothing set in stone. If right and wrong would exist, there wouldn't be 2 sides during wars. Is it wrong or right to kill someone? Why are people against or for death penalty? There's no right or wrong. Please try to understand what I'm telling you before denying it without even thinking.

              • There is indeed a set right and a set wrong. Some wars are caused by misinterpretation of what is right, while others are caused by people doing wrong, believing it to be right. It is wrong to kill someone, no matter their deeds. People are for the death penalty because they believe wrong to be right.

          • If you want to be ooga booga caveman there still is right in wrong in the most basics of nature.

            If you kill your “breeding partner” now you’ve failed to reproduce and now your existence and species dies off. That would be the /wrong/ thing to do.

            Anonymous Post Author is big strong man monkey. Big strong man monkey treat DIO wife better and now have better chance of reproduce. Oo Oo Ah Ah.

            • Why would it be wrong for a species to die off as a result of not reproducing? That's a biased judgment. For who and for what would it be wrong? Some other species would thrive while some other would be deeply impacted. It's only right or wrong when you chose a side.
              Nature doesn't chose sides. Nor does chaos.
