The Professor

“All people do have the capacity for both good and evil. The only thing that makes us choose one side more than the other is emotion. If we were to imitate robots, there would be no remorse, pity, just survial in it’s purest form. That is all I have for today,” the guest lecturer concluded.

“He’s a crackpot,” Terry said. “All good and evil is through choice, not only emotion. Our emotions don’t tell us be good right now and be evil later.” But they do, don’t they? Magna thought. Emotions guide you to act accordingly, right? “Yeah, a real crackpot,” she said, very unbelievingly. I need to find out more about this theory. It rings true to me, but it’s against what I believe in. Maybe what I heard is true. Maybe emotions outside of happiness are just different levels of pride.
