But true insanity needs no reason, has no reason. Usually it's grades of obsession and delusion, not the Real Thing.
? ...Has to start somewhere, doesn't it? Something has to tilt a person over thier individual edge?
But if you Know it, it's not unknown anymore. Then you can just deal with the Eating part. Yep. I have seen one character do this, so far, an old scholar in the occult who had also somewhat studied the Necronomicron, and decided you know - someone ought to do something about the World-Eating Horror that he had learned was loose. << And he was able to talk two friends into helping? Only because they had also seen an Unnatural Thing dissolving before thier eyes, so you know, kinda left them inclined to believe him. I notice that all three were highly intelligent persons...
they don't have to be 100% like me to understand the hows and whys.
Well, no. But there's something I'm still defining here... best words I can come up with right now is, even if there is a morality different than my own, there's got to still be something I can feel/understand... even if it has to go through some process of translation for me to get it. >.< Fuzzy thought-feelings without words. x.x
It's going to keep bothering me, though, because there's still That Bastard. Where other people I have disliked I have slowly come to understand better, this one I have not. I see why/how he ended up as he did, but still. He is That Bastard and Must Die.
Though rarely have I seen such a perfect ending, not only for the poetic justice in relation to the above, but for the realism... the big issues are dealt with, but individual people's lives - depend on how they reacted to things, and what they're willing and capable of doing, after the flood of adventure washes away and leaves on terra firma again. Because certain things there just suck, and yet in a completely believeable way. Like the way my job often sucks... XD << Can you tell I like Otherland?
