I guess there's no way to ask this that doesn't sound like a philosophy major trying to do their thesis at the last second so...

There's a lot of hero types here. You rush in to help when something happens and don't even think about it. I'd say that makes you good people.

Do you (or all of us here, I guess) think it's possible, if someone really tries, to start being a good person? Even if you've done horrible things? Like really, really bad things. Does the reason you did them matter?

Or maybe we're just meant to be bad and trying to pretend otherwise.

Having seen what beings of absolute good and evil are like?

I'm not sure mortals are inherently either. Do what your conscience guides you to, but just know that it's going to be cold comfort to those you've hurt.

The only real way you can go is forward.

What if your conscious isn't...good anymore?

[ When Ren had initially asked his question, it had been more or less casual curiosity. Or he'd thought it had.

But the way all these responses are making him really think... Maybe that's just what he was telling himself. ]

What if right and wrong got all messed up? And you're not sure which is which anymore?

I know it sounds paradoxical, but the fact that you're questioning your own actions already places you far ahead of someone who never stops to feel regret.
