The Moral Issue
Timiya
It was a fine line they walked on. And so did Milly and I once we joined them.
We crossed the line, back and forth, so many times. What side of the line did we end up on?
I don't know.
We never killed anyone.
We never lost.But somehow, this still seems wrong.
Earth is gone.
Things can never be the same.
The adults blame the others. Milly and I can tell. Theier parents are really mad. But they have no right to be angry. They have no right to exclude us. They have to right to accuse the others of violating morals.
What the others did, saved the world.
That seems contradictory. The Earth was destroyed. We all know that. It was obliterated and there's no way back.
But Earth has survived. The people of Earth are here. On Lyoko, and on Okoyl.
No one has any right to say that savin gthem was wrong.
We did what was neccessary.
That fine line I mentioned?
The difference between good and evil.
Nothing we ever did was evil.
Some if it was wrong.
Some of it was unethic. Risking Earth for Aelita. But in the end, we made the right decisions.
We go to where we needed to be.
So we never really crossed the line after all.
We just dipped a hand in to test the water.
