      There are things I did in my life that felt complex on the inside but were immoral, these points are not at odds. In fact, there's a theory that says much of immorality is just that--the external representation of inconsistent internal state.

      As a specific example: I basically left my college girlfriend hanging for a month while I tried to figure out what to do, because I was confused. Complex? Yes. Uncertain? Yes. Amoral? Absolutely. Was it excused by her equivalently bad behavior? Nope.

      exactly. the phrase "flawed but lovable" is half right. Or, stated another way, the "lovable" part is often used (perhaps with intention, perhaps not) as a trap, to keep the victims in the blast zone.

      9 times out of 10 "complication" is a "code smell" of epicycles (i.e. bullshit) things are sometimes hard, but they're almost always simple

      maybe "conflicted" is a better word than "complex" for some of these states you know right from wrong, a very loud part of you wants to do right, you're ignoring another part of you that sees it all ending badly because you can't cope it's internal gridlock

      (Not trying to put words or implications in sonya's mouth, trying to figure out the appeal these types have for me) -I empathize deeply with the impulse, almost seemed admirable when I was at my worst that someone had the balls to go all out and do what I wanted to do myself

      related: I think that evil of the mustache-twirling and cackling variety almost never exists 99% of evil is actually just weakness in the face of temptation (this is why our 🤡🌎 society focuses on the first type; to distract us from the ACTUAL type, and allow us to indulge)

          I don't disagree! possible that we insist these characters are good because we can identify "evil is mundane" is a hard pill to swallow, especially when you see the branching paths in your own life that could make you mundanely evil

          the knowledge of the branching paths is the most terrifying crushing thing there are paths almost like this one where I am much worse (that's terrible bc I could have done that) there are paths almost like this one where I am much better (terrible bc I could have done that)
