Big ask. On the operating table, the immediacy of it is overwhelming. It's an ugly yes. But life is a better way than death to save. Maybe being close to death is pure in a way, like you're closer than the rest to a yes and a difference. I think good is borne of good, the influence of bad isn't much more than disabling and scarring. That good is borne of sacrifice seems ugly. If so it should not be known as not to spoil it. But I think bad takes credit, and appears the machinations of good, whereas good is regardless. It's a set up that bad is responsible for good.
Effort towards making things right at your own expense may be all that's required for a result to flourish.
People need a hero, as an organisational central pillar. But endorsement of wrong eg sacrificing yourself to a machine of pain promotes that, not your will. Freedom is paramount. Should be fought for. No loss to lose while fighting for. But surrender for others isn't right and would anger those who fought and worked for better. Dreams of better should too have room to be beyond imagining. Set systems can't be absolute without denying something beautiful.
There's always more to life, it's an adventure, all should keep life going as it gets more complex, challenging, and camraderie inducing even if alone. Like there is a god, forged by your progress, done ahead of you perhaps but not denying your part. Everyone may always be central, any loss decides what the rest do too.
I used to say we are all functionally clones of Jesus. What we do determines what he would do in that situation with such background.
I believe similar. We have no excuse for selling out, but you can't blame anyone who does, they may have gone through more than you, or worse not gone through as much good.
Maybe the best is always fragile, seemingly too good to be doomed, but damned none the less untill the damnation is shown as rearing for further greatness.
