TED: As much as I’d like to, there’s no room to take a moral stand here. Let’s think about this.
TED: Let’s say that you’re right. All of the things I do are very wrong and bad and I stop doing it. What do I get out of it?
TED: I get to live a life of guilt from what I’ve already done, and I’ll exist miserable because of what everyone else will continue to do.
TED: I will get stepped on, slaughtered, and probably tortured. By my friends, my family, and by complete strangers. You think I hurt people just for a sake of it? I’m a mild case of that.
TED: I’m not gonna put myself through hell for morals the rest of the world has abandoned. I’d rather be a safe murderer than a morally sound doormat. Maybe that makes me “not normal”.
