Oh, don't misunderstand me-- I'm in a place quite beyond that. I'm in no way taking the moral high ground here.
That would be agreeing with your simple, romantic belief that every single life is precious and deserves to be preserved. There's having a respect for life, what its capable of-- and then there's placing so much value on each individual life, it's to the detriment of all. A bigger picture exists, one that many-- [pointedly!] --refuse to see, so wrapped up in their own lives as they are.
Mortals believe that they're at the center of their universe, that their actions are of the greatest consequence. But like a fish that's never ventured outside its stream, they have no comprehension of the greater waters outside their private little world. Planets are born and die every minute, and yet the wheels of the universe continue to turn! My kind have the rare chance to witness this cycle in action, and you call me selfish for the desire to see that opportunity realised?
