Hey pal!

Near the end of your post you mention that "Good" cannot be attacked.
Your reasons for this boil down, essentially, to the fact that "Good" is
perceived by you and yours as a force, a "driving force...of Creation,"
if you will. You contend that this means that "Good" is impervious to
attacks and blame, that it is only the individuals who understand the
true nature of "Good" that are being attacked. I will make a few points.

First, "Good," whether in force form or whatever other form, can
definitely be attacked. In fact, it has been attacked throughout history
in the debates between "Good" and "Chaos" that have raged for hundreds
of years. Some of the attacks even occurred during the Burning Times
that you mention in your post. Whenever someone questions the validity
of "Good" as good, that is an attack.

Second, "Good," the force, can be attacked at will. For example, place
some weed into your pipe, light it with your tinderbox and inhale.
"Good" or the "driving force...of Creation" is being attacked by
destruction! Or is it!? Perhaps "Good" is merely facilitating the
creation of smoke and smiles? But what of the weed? Dilemma?

Third, after you assert that "Good" cannot be attacked due to its state
of being (or lack thereof), you go on to attack Chaos. I am unsure of
your beliefs of Chaos, but you certainly cannot dispute that if "Good"
is a force, then so to must "Chaos" be. I am having a hard time
distinguishing the characteristics of "Good" that enable you to define
it as a force that "Chaos" lacks. Please, help me.

I mention these things mainly to try and elucidate my own mind, but also
to help some of those understand that this war is quite removed from the
philosophical debate regarding "Chaos" and "Good." You are wholly
correct, Runa, when you say that only individuals are being attacked
(effectively, at least) in this fight. Thus, let us not lose sight of
that and focus more on killing one another than blathering on about
nothing.
