There's no earthly way of knowing, which direction we are going;
There's no knowing where we're going, or which way the river's flowing...
There really is no way of knowing where our actions will take us. It's nice to think that the resistance and all of the efforts of the ARFA, Versus Novus, and Miss Miss' own little organization have been for the right reasons. It's nice to think that MNU and District 10 are "bad" and that freeing all of the poleepkwa and going home is "good."
Really, though, it can't be proven. There are no "good" or "bad" actions in this frame of existence, this moment in time, this universe; there are only actions that appear to be beneficial or disadvantageous to a certain group. To us, the poleepkwa and fighters for freedom, MNU is evil and must be stopped. I believed that MNU's atrocities were one of the certain things in my short life--it was only by talking to someone on the opposite side as me that I actually realised that morals are subjective. To MNU, we are evil, we are the bad guys who must be halted in our efforts. No doubt that if we were to go to thrid, fourth, even fifth parties the viewpoints would change. It is all subjective, all of it.
I am not going to give up--don't think that for a moment. However, as I continue to do my small part to stop the processes and ideas that created and sustain MNU and others like it, I will keep in mind that I may--most likely, in fact--be considered the "bad guy." I will also keep in mind that this cannot be proven false.
