The Greater Good More Lost Memories

This story is more of a series of philosophical dialectics than it is a proper story. It explores a complex ethical situation from the perspective of a group that emphatically denies that it has a right to life, or any say in whether it lives or dies. It uses entirely fictionalized religious iconography, dogma, and symbolism to examine issues and situations you may recognize from the world around you. When one group is unable or unwilling to take a stand or defend itself, deferring entirely to another, whose right is it to protect or destroy any one -or all- of that group? The culmination of the events discussed in this story are described from a different perspective in chapter 22 of Forget What You Can't Remember.
