Challenge #04700-L316: Mercy For the Many

"They won't be changed or persuaded at all?"/ I'm afraid not, I'm so sorry.

"We both knew it might come to this."/ I know, but it's always sad.

"Don't worry, you know I don't make them suffer."/ If we want to save the people in those factories.....

"I know. Just, sometimes, there really is no other way. They'll simply fall asleep... and never wake up." -- Fighting Fit

It's easy to believe that ending the one badguy will solve a systemic problem. Eliminating the wrong person who has too much power is the ideal plotline in so very many dramas. People believe that one person can change the world by existing... or no longer existing.

This is a fallacy.

For systemic change to occur, the multitude who benefit from it must change the system... or be removed. And since they're not inclined to change from within, they must be changed from the outside. Sometimes, that change is final.
