It was my duty. I believe in the freedom of choice. I believe if I want that for myself and for others, sometimes you have to fight for it and that price is high. My father died in the Great War, but that wasn't it. I wanted to do what was right. I spent most of my life standing up to bullies, I didn't see why I should get to sit out of the war.

[Pause, pause.] But it is [...] kinder?

	Do the wars now make you feel the same way? Certainly. But, it lets people get away with things, doesn't? It allows them to keep walking all over you because you accept their flaws. You have to ask if the good outweighs the bad and if it doesn't, then they aren't worth your time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wars now seem more complicated. Everything does. It was then too, but it consumed the country. Now, I don't know. I don't see why you can't accept someone's flaws and still want them to become better, or know they can be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't really know, either, honestly. Gotham is like an island. America as a whole barely registers on my radar. What if they can't be better? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You should watch Daily Show. I know plenty of people who can't change. Not without a bunch of circumstances making it happen. And, Steve, it's not your responsibility to help them change. You're going to drive yourself nuts if you spend too much time with people that make you unhappy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you have a tv yet? Most people? Don't want to. And, even if they do, have to put in effort every day to achieve it. [Blink.] No. It wasn't Steph's responsibility to help me change. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No. The Tower [...] got attacked. Sharon has a TV. I understand that, but it's worth the effort. [...] Okay. Not responsibility. But, she wanted it for you, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: eddie/steve riddlethem 2014-07-23 01:16 pm UTC (link)
	Who's Sharon? Of course it is. I'm a walking example of it, but it's fucking hard. Really fucking hard. [Blink, blink.] Sure she did and truthfully I stopped committing crimes before I even started talking to her as a friend. She helped get me farther by believing in me and letting me talk through things. [Blink.] But, she liked me a lot. I think that helps. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Squint.] She's a friend. Peggy's niece actually.

Stephanie sounds like a good woman. [...] People should always want to be better, or have someone who believes they can be, even if they don't believe it themselves. I try to do that. But I don't think [...] I think maybe Stephanie is much better suited to that kind of thing than I am. [Small moment of wishing Peggy was here because she was good at guidance.] As much as I don't want to admit it.

Dooo you like-like Sharon.

You'd adore Stephanie. You should come over for dinner once Gotham is somewhat safer. [Blink.] I don't think you're discounting it. I'm saying that you can only help the people you're willing to be patient for. That you can still like even after they hurt you or fail. And, there's no point in wasting your time trying to help people change who don't make you feel that way. [Blink.] Which is why, against all reason, Selina will probably always be in Banner's corner.

[Er.] Where she's from, we've been together for a long time.

I would love to. [...] I can't see it as a waste of time, regardless of how I feel, because even if someone hurts me or fails, it's in the name of working toward something. Progress comes with growing pains. I'm sure you know that. I'm not going to give up on Banner. Enough people have done that in his life. I just wish I was better at helping.
