OK...let me give you a scenario...This guy, has a family and a wife he loves |
|
Its at the "end of the empire" whatever the fuck that means....
So he drinks himself to death, and also drugs himself to death, but the very next day the empire ends
Was he a bad guy?

1. Not sure. But he sounds like a Bogart |

I mean, if he really loved his family, wouldn't he share his drugs and alcohol with them?

4. But if knowing the empire was due to end - would that make him the same as other wife-abandoners? |

|
somewhat freaks me out.
Glad it's not you or anyone you know.

7. Any possibility is the governance of fiction |
|
Even if pondered - since I can't write...

8. Sometimes I'm tempted to think that there are no 'bad' people. |
|
Only bad actions. Same goes for good, of course.
But yeah, I'd say that was a bad thing to do.

9. Bad actions are still bad regardless of timing |
|
He caused unnecessary pain to the people who loved him the most. Whether the "end of the empire" occurs or not, the family is left more broken than the day before. Good people don't willingly do that to others.

10. So he dies twice? Trippy... |
|
I suppose if he was the emperor, and he knew his whole family would be killed if he was around the next day, then he did the right thing. Otherwise he left his family to be easy prey for the post-empire zombies, which was a dick move...
