...you know having these conversations with you is way easier in person but anyway. okay how likely do you think it is their information's not actually real?
You're the one who chooses text. Some of it may be more of their personal opinions rather than fact, but do you have a reason for suspecting they're being actively misled?
don't make me come over there :| i don't exactly a reason to suspect they're being misled but aren't you the one who initially told me not to totally believe absolutely everything we're being told?
What I meant wasn't to disbelieve everything you come across; that's not a productive hole to go down. Just to keep an open mind about what things mean, rather than go for the most literal interpretation based on how info is presented.
Sakyou was also not in his right mind for the entirety of Thursday night. Looks like they're talking about the rewards for graduation and winning the Dorm Wars.
What about it in particular? This school seems to exist by the story's design. While parts of it are likely cause and effect, independent of any specific will, it makes sense that other parts were deliberately offered as further motivation to guide the "characters".
There are certain elements that the entity seems determined to keep, and it'll probably focus its power on doing so. However, that doesn't mean that everything that's happened here was by its will. Chances are, some of the things that were attributed to some ploy on its part weren't actually deliberate on its part. So we've probably already changed the story, to some degree.
that's a good way to look at it i mean i think bringing molly back probably went against the story some of those trips too and you guys are still yourselves... if we can keep that much, that's better worried at all?
I don't mean that we should just lie over passively. But if you know it's a possibility, then you might as well prepare your heart for it. Then, you'll be able to handle it if it occurs, rather than break down.
...yeah i get it people are still breaking down at executions so how can we help prepare people for the possibilities of what's coming next? i'm not saying you have to give me specific answers i'm just...wondering, i guess
There probably isn't a general answer for something like that. How people respond will depend on their own life experiences, so what works for one might not work for another.
Figure out what are things you need to live and what you could move on without. You don't have to settle, and it's fine to be greedy. But it helps to be self-aware enough to know how you'll react to loss, as it's inevitably a part of living.
...i don't see how that can't be applicable to everybody but i get what you're saying we all have to pick and choose sometimes don't we? this school still has things we've gained and lost. so..it's a thought
It's not something a lot of people will want to do, and not everyone will find it simple to do within a short timeframe. In the end, what you've gained and what you've lost can sometimes be mind over matter.
