"Progress requires sacrifice."
The life of an animal does not equal that of a human.
That truth is self-evident to those capable of understanding it.
Yet most prefer ignorance—
because ignorance absolves them of guilt.
I seek knowledge where others avert their eyes.
I ask questions they are too weak to answer.
Limited by fear of its own potential.
Evolution does not wait for consensus.
It rewards only those bold enough to guide it.
Progress has always required sacrifice.
The only difference is that I am honest about it.
Call me cruel if you wish.
History will call me necessary.
[This is the official interaction of my oc Villain character, I have talked of him before, but now I actually have a better understanding of the personality I want him to have.]
