how do know there is no right answer?
right, but from time to time there's a clear wrong, right?
Yeah, for example don't you think Hitler, Taliban are absolutely, completely wrong?
they are living in their own minds and unfortunately think they are right for doing horrible things, do you think bad people are born evil or is it the way they were brought up?
no, no ones born evil, and don't the people we think are wrong think that they're right?
Don't you think some actually know they're wrong, like serial killers but take pleasure in seeing others tortured?
(side note: I saw this YouTube Short about a nurse who exchanged 5000 babies in all her career. She knew she'd doing wrong, sure just wanted to play 'God'. So, most people do know.)

ig so, but aren't they doing wrong things to feel right?(she wants to feel like god-> does the baby thing bc its the "right way", dunno if that makes any sense haha)
Are we talking about feeling right or morally right?
In any case, don't yiu think their perception of 'right' is wrong?
Of course most criminals feel right committing the crime, that's why they do it but don't you think most KNOW they are wrong? Don't you think most understand that killing is wrong?
idk, can't something be wrong and right at the same time, in different ways?
it can be, it's usually rare though, i think?
I think if u see everything from different perspectives, it could be a pretty common thing, couldn't it?
i guess it could, what do others think?
Mod
sure, because i dont know the context, but do you?
i think it all comes down to your definition of what’s right and wrong, don’t you think?
I think we all want to live in the perfect world- the utopia, but utopia can't exist, can it now?
But wouldn’t it be amazing if it did?
Can we achieve Utopia in the future, like in a century or two?
I don't know, but it doesn't scare me either. Does it scare anyone else?
Not scary but sad. There's the entire world out there I'ven't seen, dreams I'ven't realised. Doesn't anyone else feel the same?
I agree, but is there life after death?
I think so too, but anyone could argue otherwise, don't you think?
Dumbledore said: Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living and above all those who lived without love. And there doesn't exist a quote I agree with more.That's why I'm sad not scared.
Religious philosophy is the last thing I want to discuss about, does anyone else want to talk about it?

Are you into fantasy? If so, have you read Six of Crows?
How dare you not read SoC yet? Do you know it's a masterpiece?

I want to read SoC, is it actually good?
It is! Six of Crows is incredible! The plot and characterization is immaculate, especially the establishment and the overcoming of the characters' traumas. I also love how the novel defies many prominent YA tropes, as the story features a diverse cast (in terms of race, body type and sexuality), and does not try to brush aside their flaws, choosing to address and correct them instead. Nobody is ever shamed for their identities. The romance aspect was also handled really well. Is this convincing enough?
Wow, you definitely put a lot of effort into this! I am definitely going to read this! What do others think? How did Ry do?

SoC is one of my all-time favorites, so it was really difficult to type coherent thoughts and not just "OMG i love this to bits you are my everything I would die to be a part of this I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!"
It took me about 2 hours to look at this book-and my reading experience- rationally
And why wouldn't you answer the question with a question, Ry?
Anshika wrote: "And why wouldn't you answer the question with a question, Ry?"My bad. Does this make up for that error?
Ahh I was just kidding, did you take me seriously?
Anshika wrote: "Ahh I was just kidding, did you take me seriously?"How did you know?
I'm sorry if I hurt you. Are you still angry at me?
No no, I wasn't angry at all! Do you feel better?
We're talking about that comment above, aren't we?(I swear I didn't mean to be aggressive or anything like that)
Everything as question sounds uncertain and taunting, doesn't it?
It really is , how did someone think of this game ?
I have no clue, but it's fun, isn't it?
