[manufactured]

Back then I considered it judgement.

[blondferret]

[Oh my gosh this guy is nuts!]

What the hell man? Who gave you the right to make that kind of call?

[manufactured]

Sometimes that right has to be claimed, particularly from those who - I'll remind you - feel they have the right to perform heinous experiments on children.

[blondferret]

You couldn't just call the proper authorities?

[manufactured]

It was a large enough corporation - with more than enough power - to ensure that it couldn't be touched by normal means. They had more than enough people both on the police force and within the government for that sort of thing to be impossible.

I won't claim that what I did was right, or that I was a good person. But I'm not going to apologize for that particular action.

[blondferret]

You don't seem like the type of person to apologize at all.

[manufactured]

It depends on the transgression.

[blondferret]

Right... OK. Are you sure you're mentally stable? Ever thought of seeing the psychiatrist?

[manufactured]

I've considered. Though for the time being, I'm more or less stable - as much as one can be, at any rate, with the past life that I'm remembering.

My past life was a different story, and certainly could have benefited from...something, at any rate, I think he was a bit beyond therapy. But it isn't like that now.

[blondferret]

Stable according to who? What kind of credentials to they have?

[manufactured]

This is highly intrusive and none of your business.

[blondferret]

And yet you openly talk about bring down corporations and calling judgement on others...

Where do you draw your line?

[manufactured]

Both of those are things that occurred in my past life and have no real bearing on my present situation. I'm willing to discuss my past life with anyone. My medical history in my current life is clearly a different matter altogether and no one's business but my own.

[blondferret]

That' fair.

[He is a doctor after all and understands this concept.]

Then how about this: Do you agree with your past self's actions?

[manufactured]

Do you think I do?

I'm putting forth effort into understanding him, because rejecting him entirely and agonizing over everything he did was proving unsustainable. The fact that I would have that reaction to begin with likely says enough.

[blondferret]

When I posed the question, I wasn't sure what you thought of your past self.

So you were agonizing over the crazy stuff he did then? So you've just accepted that your other self had a shit ton of issues or something?

[manufactured]

I'm aware of what his issues were; rather than simply writing him off as an inherently evil human being and considering that acceptable, I'm making an attempt to understand him. I find nothing wrong with that, so long as understanding doesn't turn to sympathy.

The things he did were certainly worth agonizing over, however.

[blondferret]

What else did he do?

[manufactured]

I'm content to leave it at the notion that he was a terrible person for now.

[blondferret]

Yikes. That bad huh?
