My sweet summer child, what do you know about human nature?

What you perceive as "right", my student, is what you have been told to perceive as "right".

Here, in the third world, we consider employing children as soldiers immoral, "wrong". Whereas in other parts of our vast world, such as the Middle East, this practice has been both accepted and executed as practical, pragmatic, "right" -- they don't have the economy we do.

Today, we would consider throwing a man to the lions of an arena and telling him to survive for his freedom to be "wrong", whereas in Imperial Rome, gladiator matches were not only "right", but encouraged.

You look upon the world with a perception with which others indoctrinated you. Rejecting this mentality and embracing the fact that our world is not limited by idle fancies of "morals" is the only way to the truth.

You will learn, when the time comes. On that day, you will know that what characterises people as "human" revolves around three principles: thought pattern, cognotive process, and emotional response.

The way you react to certain things, adapt to them and the repercussions these events have on your psyche are what define who you are as a human.

But we shouldn't discuss this any further. While I may have initiated this conversation, I'll not be the one to maintain it any longer. Where did you get that from? That it's what i have been perceived? Explain.

Also, child soldiers aren't wrong if they're willing to do it themselves, and if they love their country. Otherwise, yes it is. Also, don't talk about the third world like that. I know the third world very well. I'm from Afghanistan. My dad was a general in the Mujahideen against the Soviet union.

Anyway, that's not only wrong, it's unecessary. Why would you throw that man in there in the first place anyway? So, yes it is.

Again, where did you ge t that from? That others "indoctrinated" this upon me? Explain.

Only way to the truth? '''I am the truth. '''Morals are part of the truth too. So, you're wrong.

Learn what? Humans are defined by their morals, free will, consciousness, and knowledge. By the way, i will tell you, i used to have the same mindset as you. That is an outdated mindset. You need to realize that it is wrong and awaken. I used also to think that the law decides right and wrong, only because of the current structure of "society". But that's an useless and outdated mindset. Morals are what decides that.

Those things aren't even that important. "Reactions" and all that.

So, you're wrong.
