I don't know. I'm not a war general or some kind of rebellion leader. I don't know what goes through their minds. All I know is that what they believe is different and what may seem like mindless violence to some of you may actually be well planned moves in order to win."
To win power. Like in a chess game. Sometimes you even had to sacrifice your pawns in order to win. That didn't mean you were indulging in mindless killing. Never mindless. Just working towards the greater goal: power. Lucy turned towards Daphne, who also made a comment about Jack's statement. "Well, yes, exactly. Harmful acts do lead to power, but I think that Jack is leaning towards the idea that perhaps even though a person is in power, it doesn't necessarily mean they know they are. For all they know, they could just be hurting someone for self-satisfaction, because it amuses them, and not realize they have power over that person." she said. Well, couldn't it happen? Surely, there were some people out there who are like that... "Come to think of it, the actual act of harming another human being and the satisfaction gained from it will probably cloud their thinking and judgement, hence...they don't know about the power the have at that very moment...?" Lucy said, hesitating on her last few words. |
