Fifth Lotus

I do not think I have figured out why some people are rude when they do not even know someone. You can make more friends if you do not start to call people names or assume that they are not as smart as you. I do not believe it is a good way to survive either.

We do not know who we were! For the most part. It does not make sense to isolate yourself or others!

Also, it is not nice to call names. I believe this should be remembered.

You're just painting a bright red target on yourself. If you can remember so much why can't you remember bullies? You know? Big hulking beasts that slam you into walls and steal your money? That's what you're setting yourself up for!

Exactly! It's a code. You're assuming everyone was imputed with it! Some people are screwups! They don't have a mommy and daddy that love them very much, never did well in school and bam! They're in jail 40 to life for killing a man. Plus I'll give you that we seem to have been incompletely wiped but I postulate that if your "morality code" was weak before the wipe? Having your memories fried would just undo the rest. Now you can't remember why exactly you should be nice to people or why cutting in line is totally wrong! It's just an urge and urges can be dismissed, repressed and poof! No more nice people.

I do not think they could slam me into a wall and take my money. I believe I am able to deal with anyone that tried.

But is it not better to assume the best of someone instead of deciding that they are screwups? If you have a higher standard for people, they are more likely to work to meet it! If your standard is lower, then they will sink to that level because it is easy!

I'm talking big guys, like Charger! No offense but you're kinda skinny and tiny compared to him.

Well first off, you have to be mega importante for someone to want to meet your standards. No one's gonna care about a fellow amnesiac who's in the same boat. Secondly, if their brain chemistry is wired so they're screwups...then they're screwups! No amount of wishing can change genetics! That's what so great about the brain! All the coding and societal programing can just go kaput with a few tweaks of your biochemicals.

I am not skinny or tiny, but even if I was, I make up for it by being exceptionally fit!

What is mega importante? And what are biochemicals?

You can be fit and still get smacked by a 300 pound gorilla.

Nevermind I just meant that people have to be important to be looked up to. Not everyday joes like you and me. As for biochemicals, those are the little things floating around in your head that make you upbeat and unnaturally curious as opposed to grumpy and jaded like everyone else here. You are what you are, just like I am what I am.

Only if it catches me!

You only need to be friends to be respected! I would hope I am what I am! And that you are what you are!

I guess you have a point there.

Ah yeah friends. Or you can just become really good at what you do and earn respect that way.

You are quite unique, Youth. Trust me on that, amigo.

I am good at what I do, I think!

Splendid! I would not want to be someone else.
