(Long, sappy comment ahead.) Thank you for making this video. I don’t think it’s a mystery to many people why there appears to be so much more evil than good in the world. It is certainly a pressing issue. I sympathize with people who don’t want to talk about it - they’re just tired of hearing about it, and don’t want it in their life. Their mistake, as you said, is choosing not to fight it. I’ve been making that same mistake for years, and it was only through the empathy of others that I was able to make it through and join the fight. It wasn’t that long ago that I hated myself and everyone else and was ready to take my own life, and the only reason I hadn’t was because there were people who tried to help and understand. Even if they didn’t fully comprehend why I was an agent in spreading evil, they still helped me, and now I’ve remembered the importance of fighting it. One point I oppose is the idea of ‘evil people’. I agree that evil can make people its agent, but saying people ARE evil means we are giving up on saving them. And like you said, why should we give up? A person is only a lost cause if we stop helping them before they pass away, and every life has value. Even the sour, bigoted, 90-year-old corporation owner is not yet beyond hope. We may think that way because we do not fully understand why they are victim to evil - but they are human, and that is enough common ground to justify helping them. Dark Souls was a fitting choice for a background visual. No one in that world is evil themselves, only being manipulated by it. And that is what I think ‘morally grey’ truly means; we are the grey, walking towards the white and away from the black. We are not one or the other, and neither is the world around us. also I was SHOCKED there was no NordVPN sponsor at 2:00 haha
Nice
