The Moral Issue

Jeremie

My parents finally convinced us to write this. It's been two years since Earth was obliterated.

None of us have been able to break into No-space, so it must be gone. Shut down.

When we helped to create a pathway to Lyoko, we violated several laws of physics. There was no way that wouldn't affect something. We know that.

We could have said 'no.' We could have just not helped create the pathway. But that would have created a paradox, and we would have been stuck in the past.

But, ofcourse, that doesn't justify the fact that we did put the world in jeopardy. We delivered a part of Earth to Lyoko, in a desperate (or not so desperate) attempt to save it.

We succeeded. We made Lyoko into what steve told us it had been meant to be. A world without danger.

Using Okoyl computer code, we've brought sense to Lyoko. We still have pain, and there is no death. We've made our home as Earth-like as possible for our children.

My parents don't undertand.

If we hadn't kept our secret they would have shut Xana down. Aelita would be dead, we'd all have been obliterated, none of this world would exist.

We wouldn't have our children.

We wouldn't have our world.

We wouldn't have our lives.

We've all heard, at some point, that the end justifies the means. So here's my jusification.

The end is this world Our world without danger. Our children. Our lives. Our tiny piece of our universe.

The means were lying, cheating, breaking rules, and forgetting our morals and ethics for a time.

But we did it.

There's justification enough.
