[While he's guarding over some bodies... Hey he has questions. Alternatively might be starting a fight.]
What is it that drives humans? Or, perhaps more aptly, non-demons? Mortals? Whatever you slot yourselves under, what makes you do the things you do?
Why do you unrelentingly get into strife with one another — incriminating murderers, only to turn around and commit a murder yourself moments later and being shocked when others despise you, rinse and repeat ad infinitum until everyone's hands have been bloodied? Is it vengeance? Survival?
In the end, why do you forgive the people who you spend hours condemning? Are they absolved of sin because you say they are? Are you simply tired of fighting?
Demons and mankind are quite similar. I believe we're all guilty of the same things — all of you are so far from Heaven's Gates that it's laughable, same as myself. The events of the last month have me thinking about all of that, and...
Those of you who think you're going to Heaven at the end of your life, assuming here is not your final destination: Why is that?
Just some questions. Have a nice night.

[To think he was just helping her with algebra like, a couple months ago. Not that that has anything to do with it, but still.]
Fatigue could indeed be a great contributor to actions here. Humans are interesting to me — they often do this in the real world, do they not? Forgive, forget, and move on?
As for your latter comment, "oblivion" is an end I find that most don't strive for. Not that I'm saying you do, but it's interesting to me that you think such is appropriate.

[Over a hundred years' worth of thinking, in fact.]
I can't say that isn't wrong. But from my experience, true forgiveness is all about understanding. Anything outside of that, it's hard to say if you're truly forgiving them of their actions, or if you're playing ignorant because you simply don't want to look at it in the eyes.
And then there are things that cannot be forgiven easily. But I think that if a person can acknowledge their sins and mistakes, make up for them... and change for the better, that's enough for me.
It is only human to make mistakes, after all. Everyone has their own flaws, as much as they try to hide them or hate to admit to it.
In any case. It isn't that I strive for oblivion, so to speak. But a life such as mine isn't exactly one that I think is meant to go to a certain place in the afterlife.
Well.
I've already seen a place outside of this that I can go after death. But that world is a rather lonely place.
