Another random conversation: heroes and villains

"Let me ask you this, would you rather be a hero who killed many times or be remembered or known as an evil villain but you save many lives?" G

"I guess, I'd choose to be the one who saved lives" W

"To be the villain, I guess." C

"You'd be remembered as a villain. People will hate you and no one will know of the good deeds you've done. Worst is..." G

"I'd still be the villain. What people talk about me, I don't mind. But I do, that what matters." W

"Let's scale the numbers, alright? Let say, you'd be a hero but you'll kill 100 people and then if you're a villain you'd save just a handful of 10 or 20 people. Will you change your answer?

"I'll still be the villain." W

"Villain" C

"Now tell me... what did our war heroes did? And what our soldiers are doing? Can you tell me?" G

"They did it for their country." W

"It's their duty." C

"Oh, don't you think the enemies aren't doing the same? Don't you think the conquistadors aren't doing it for their country? Don't you think it's their duty as well? The terrorists can be doing it for their religious duty, don't you think? " G

"No, they're still wrong." W

"In our perspective, yes." (What I wanted to say)

"Back to our first question, but this time... let's remove the add-ons. Would you rather be a hero or a villain?" G
