NIETZSCHE; DEAD PHILOSOPHERS' INBOX

[explosivecombat]

[TEXT; LOCKED TO doitrockapella]

The offer for conversation is always open, should you desire to take me up on it; I can't guarantee that I'll respond immediately, nor will it necessarily be the response you want, but I'll always respond in some way.

In the name of enlightened discourse.

[explosivecombat]

Well, yes, of course - that goes without saying.

At the same time, it's not like you to approach things in this way.

[doitrockapella]

I'm...trying something different.

The way I usually approach things isn't always the best.

[explosivecombat]

Oh? And what led you to that sort of conclusion?

[doitrockapella]

In this case, at least, the fact that going about things the way I usually do would make me a hypocrite.

Even if it's a relatively minor thing to be hypocritical about, that doesn't make it any less worth it to try and change for the better.

[explosivecombat]

Well, I'm not going to try to argue that; my tolerance for hypocrisy has always been incredibly low, after all.

[doitrockapella]

So, a tolerable enough reason for me to be acting unusual, then?

[explosivecombat]

You tell me. Is it?

[doitrockapella]

I don't know if I like it yet. But I think I'll probably be the better for it in the long run.

So yes, it is.

[explosivecombat]

As long as it's your decision, Locke.

[doitrockapella]

I'll let you know how it works out.
