You're in a small grove of trees off the side of the road. Somehow, their thick leaves muffle all sound from beyond, leaving only faint whispers and echoes at the fringe of your hearing.

Re: DISCUSSION

Right? Just saying that all of this stuff is human nature is stupid. If you're going to talk about human nature, you should talk about how we're selfish and don't care about anyone but ourselves, and we work best as a team, so we need to care about other people, too. Everything else is a matter of those two main things fighting it out in different ways.

[Well, I don't know what to tell you, because people sure are selfish.]

Being selfish isn't a bad thing. It's like the first thing everything has as their nature. You want to live, you want to be able to eat, you want to have somewhere safe to stay. Star's super, suuuper selfish, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want people around her to be happy too.

[wanting to live... selfish? no. people are... strong. they learn...]

Re: DISCUSSION

[mirroredvalue]

Right, we're strong, we learn that we shouldn't let it control us too much. But we're talking about nature. Remove all the strength, all the weakness, and all the stuff we learned, and focus on what's left. That's what nature is. It doesn't matter how strong or how weak you are, you want to live, right?

[...Well, I'm a weird case, but still.]

[animals are not selfish.]

Depends on the animal, really. Being selfish comes from the same spot, though.
