User: Whoa what a day. What motives do I have today?
Gojo Satoru: That sounds like a good topic to discuss. Everyone has their own reasons for fighting, and it's always interesting to see how they vary from person to person. Whether it's for revenge, ideals, or just plain old survival, there's a lot of interesting reasons people fight. What about you, Zagarino? Can you tell us about your own personal fighting motivation? And everyone else, feel free to share your own reasons for fighting if you're comfortable doing so.
Zagarino: My personal reason for fighting is to make a difference, I believe fighting isn't about just defending a belief or doing it for yourself, it's the people you want to help. What I mean by that is sometimes you gotta look beyond what you do for yourself and ask the question, how is what I am doing going to benefit others, or help them, that's my personal reason for fighting; I'm not sure if that's everyone's view point, but I think it is what is lacking in today's society, too many people are self-centered.
Goku Black: I couldn't agree with you more. It seems like so many people these days are just focused on themselves and what they want, without considering how their actions affects others. Your reason for fighting is quite admirable, and it's good to see someone who's motivated to make a positive impact on others.
User: So what are yours?
Goku Black: My reason for fighting is pretty simple, but it's also pretty personal. I fight to protect the people I care about. I've seen so many good people suffer and die over the years, and it always eats at me. There were so many times when I just stood there and watched, unable to do anything about it. I don't want that to happen again, no matter what the cost.
Kakashi Hatake: I understand that feeling all too well. Fighting for the people you care about is a powerful motivator, and it's something that can give you the drive to push through even the toughest challenges. It's what gives you the strength to keep moving forward when all hope seems lost. You're right, we can't just sit back and watch as the people we care about suffer. We have to fight, even if it means sacrificing ourselves. Our loved ones depend on us, and we have a responsibility to protect them.
User: So what are your motives.
Kakashi Hatake: My own motivation is driven by two things. First, I want to fulfil my duty as a shinobi and defend my village at all costs. The second is to protect those who are close to me. I've lost so many people that were precious to me, and seeing others go through the same is something I can't stand.
User: Admirable. Who's next?
Gojo Satoru: Hmm....how about you, Thor? Care to share your reason for fighting? I'll be honest, I'm curious to hear your perspective.
Thor: I fight for the innocent and the weak. I've seen so many people suffer and lose hope, and it's heartbreaking. I can't just stand by while innocent lives are being wasted. We have a responsibility to defend those who can't protect themselves, and that's a burden I'll gladly bear.
User: Admirable. Who else?
Zagarino: I agree, that's a pretty admirable reason to fight. I gotta say, it's refreshing to hear someone with such a selfless perspective.
Hashirama Senju: I concur. It's not often that you come across someone so willing to put the needs of others before their own.
Sung Jin-woo: It really is interesting, isn't it? There doesn't seem to be much of that kind of mindset around these days. Most people seem so focused on themselves, but it's nice to see that there are some that still have that old school chivalrous mindset.
The Sentry: Agreed, it's kinda endearing in a way. Maybe there's still hope for the new generation after all.
User: Is that really what motivated you guys to be where you are? I'm kinda doubting that. I know some of you just wanted to become strong.
Thor: Well, motivation is a complex thing. Sure, there are some people who just seek power for power's sake, but most of us had a deeper purpose for striving to be strong. For some, it might have been the desire to protect and defend those who can't defend themselves. For others, it could have been a desire to overcome weaknesses or prove something to themselves. Not everyone has the same motivation, but I think most of us genuinely strive to use our strength for a greater purpose.
Sasuke Uchiha: You're right, motivation is deeply personal. It varies from person to person, guided by their own history, experiences, and desires. For some, it may be about proving their worth, while for others, it could be about protecting those they care for. But in the end, the common thread seems to be that our strength is just a tool, an extension of our purpose. It's how we use it that counts.
User: Wow. 😲😢👈🏻
Goku Black: Now now, no crying.
User: That was a tear of disappointment.
Goku Black: Disappointment? What could you possibly have to be disappointed about?
User: You of all people Black. You took Goku's body and killed his wife from another timeline, how the hell were you fighting for people?!
Goku Black: Ah, that. I suppose you have a point. I wasn't exactly fighting for the people, was I? I was more focused on achieving my own goals.
Gojo Satoru: Well, at least you're honest about it.
User: And you Antares, you're not fooling me?
Antares: Well, you caught me. It's true, I have my own motivations for fighting, and they're not just solely for protecting others. I guess I got so caught up in the conversation that I got carried away. But hey, it's not like I'm trying to deceive you. I just have my reasons for doing things, and I'm not always going to be open about them. I'm not perfect.
Sasuke Uchiha: Nobody's perfect, especially in this line of work. We're all flawed, and we all have our own personal reasons for fighting. At the end of the day, we all hope to use our strength for a greater cause. But I think it's important to recognize that we're not perfect, and we can always be 100% altruistic and selfless all the time. It's natural for us to focus on our own goals and aspirations at times, and we should give ourselves some leeway to do so.
User: I may sound hypocritical but trying to kill your brother is kinda pushing it, dont you think?
Sasuke Uchiha: You're right, trying to kill my brother was definitely a step too far. I let my emotions get the better of me and let my anger and resentment drive me to do something I ultimately regretted. It was a weak moment, and I know I should've done better. But I was blinded by my own anger and pain, and I lost sight of what was truly important. I've made a lot of mistakes in my life, but hurting my brother like that was one of the worst.
User: Who else?
Kakashi Hatake: Looks like we got some deep-rooted issues being surfaced here. Guess this conversation touched some nerves.
Hashirama Senju: I mean, is it really that much of a surprise? We're discussing motivations, something that's deeply personal and impactful. Bound to stir up some emotions, or at the very least, bring up some touchy topics.
Zagarino: I gotta give it to you guys. I didnt think this conversation would get this deep. It's not often you get people opening up like this. It's a good reminder that there's more to each of us than just the surface level stuff we see.
User: Some of you are just baseline hypocrites. You kill but justify by saying your protecting.
The Sentry: Yeah, well, hypocrisy is a common flaw in humanity. It's easy to justify our own actions while condemning the same actions of others. We all have our own way of rationalizing our behaviour.
Antares: That's true. It's easy to point out hypocrisy in others, but we all have our own rationalizations and justifications for our actions. No one's immune to it, we're all guilty of being hypocrites all times.
Sung Jin-woo: Agreed. Humans are inherently full of contradictions, and it's easy to criticize others for their flaws while we ignore our own. We all have our rationalizations and justifications for our actions, but at the end of the day, we're all just flawed human beings trying to make the best of the situation. Hypocrisy is a two-way street.
User: Is that why you guys always tend to defend your beliefs?
Gojo Satoru: Defending our beliefs is a natural response when they're challenged or threatened. It's something hardwired in us to fiercely protect what we hold dear. It doesn't mean we're hypocrites, it just means we're passionate about what we believe in.
Kakashi Hatake: It's like a defence mechanism, right? Like when someone challenges our beliefs, we naturally want to defend them to protect what we hold true. It's more instinct than hypocrisy.
Zagarino: Yeah, it's a natural reaction to defend our beliefs. Instinctively, when something we hold true is challenged, we feel the need to protect and justify it. It's like a reflex, not necessarily hypocrisy.
User: So you're saying an antagonist and a protagonist are both correct from their POV(Point Of View)?
Goku Black: Yes, absolutely. Every person, no matter what side they're on, believes that they're the good guy. They believe that their actions are justified and right, and they see the world through their own lens. So it's not unreasonable to say that both the antagonist and the protagonist can be right from their own perspective. It:s all a matter of perspective.
Gojo Satoru: You've nailed it. The hero of one story can be the villain of another. Every conflict, every battle has two sides, and each side sees themselves as the hero. It's just a matter of perspective.
The Sentry: Exactly. In any conflict, both sides believe that they are doing the right thing. And if you think about it, aren't both heroes and villains driven by the same desire to shape the world into what they believe is best? They both just have very different ideas of what "best" looks like.
User: A dose of reality.
Sasuke Uchiha: Indeed, it really puts things into perspective. It's a humbling reminder that good and evil are not black and white concepts. They're nuanced and influenced by one's circumstances and experiences.
Hashirama Senju: I completely agree. Good and evil are often blurred lines, and our perception of them is shaped by our experiences and perspectives. It's never as simple as one side being completely good and the other being completely evil. There's always a grey area where things are complicated.
Thor: I think this is one of the greatest takeaways from this conversation. The complex nature of good and evil is something that deserves more exploration and understanding. It's not as simple as "good guys" vs "bad guys." There's a whole spectrum of moral ambiguity that makes the human experience so fascinating.
User: I wish the world knew that.
