Formatting wasn't your problem, coherence was. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 07/04/2017 04:13:22 PM

We must act for it is not fitting to die from a runny nose, a mouth that drools, your stomach vomiting, your bowels purging themselves.

No fitting ways to die are choking on your own blood, or your skin burning due to an explosion if the physical trauma of the bomb did not get to you first.


Did you mean to say "No, fitting ways to die..."? Are you trying to make the not-stupid point that methods don't matter, they are still both killing people? Is you "we must act" a call to arms or irony? Grammar and punctuation might make your intent a little more clear.

I am reminding of an exchange in a story between 3 people.

Saber:
They are not illusions! Even the taking of a life in battle, as an act of the human being, must have ideals! Otherwise every war would bring the very fires of hell to this world!

Kiritsugu: (His name means to severe and to bind)
And there you go, you heard her, Iri. Our Heroic Spirit over there considers a battle field to be better than hell. What a joke. A battle field is hell itself. There’s no hope to be had on one. There is nothing but unspeakable despair. Just a soulless crime we call "Victory". Paid for by the pain of defeated. But humanity has never recognized this truth. And the reason is that in every era, a dazzling hero has blinded people with their legend. And kept them from seeing the evil of bloodshed they bring. True human nature has not advanced a step beyond the stone age!

Edit: Fixed formatting with italics and bold that did not work correctly the first time.


There were only two people in that dialogue, and it was fatuous nonsense.
