Spideyninja20 Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 Hello! I’m Spideyninja (not really). I don’t exactly know what I’m suppose to do here, but the prompt said something about introductions and discussions, so I’ll introduce myself then start a discussion. I enjoy comic books and many comic book movies, though there are many I do not enjoy. I first started reading Sanderson when I was in highschool and found The Reckoners series. At the time I didn’t even know that the author had other books or series, and I didn’t really get into Brandon’s work until I started watching Shadiversity, and read his epic fantasy book, Shadow of the Conqueror (great book btw). After hearing Shad praise the Mistborn books, I dove into that series and from there eagerly explored the rest of the Cosmere. A big reason I’m so intrigued by the Stormlight Archive is that I myself suffer from Dissociative Identity Disorder, and it’s fascinating to me learning about other people’s perspectives on the condition. As for the discussion I promised, I’ve recently been philosophizing about the nature of justice (probably largely due to the fact that one of my alters committed a heinous crime, and I’ve been struggling with what to think of myself since turning myself in) and I have reached a conclusion I believe to be true. However I love hearing other people’s opinions as they help me to define and strengthen my own beliefs, so I want to know; how would you define the word justice, or the concept behind it? 3
FlowerGirl she/her Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 Welcome to the shard! Justice is hard to define, it depends on so much, and often humans won't have enough understanding to be completely just. I wish you the best with your struggles, I don't have D.I.D. myself, but I do have a couple other mental illnesses, I know it's not the same, but if you want a friend I'll do my best. (I'm pretty socially inept.) Or if you don't want a friend that's fine too. 1

I would love to have a friend on this site, even if I mostly come here to answer questions about the cosmere. Also, even though you might not have DID, it’s good to recognize and work on your own mental illness, and I’m proud of you. 1
