Holy crap.

I recently started watching death note, which is to be honest rather frightening.

I see peices of myself reflected in both L and Kira, the respective protagonist and antagonists of the story. It's odd to see bits of your personality in two such drastically different characters. The show really gives you a feel for how blurred the line between good and evil really is, and how easy it is to do evil even if you have good intentions.

If nothing else, it's been reminding me how important morality is. I've said in the past that the things we do don't matter as much as the reasons we do them, but on another level you have to ask yourself who is judging your actions and your motives.

While a man should only be answerable to himself, there are certain laws which should apply to all. Breaking those, even if you have justifiable motivation, will always be viewed as evil.
