Quote by Orson Scott Card

The funny thing was, you see, that Mike Fink didn't think of himself as a murderer. He thought of life as a contest, and dying was what happened to those who came out second best, but it wasn't the same as murder, it was a fair fight.

Summary

In this quote, it is highlighted that Mike Fink, despite causing deaths, does not perceive himself as a murderer. Instead, he views life as a competition where the victorious survive while the losers perish. Fink sees these deaths not as acts of murder, but as fair battles where one person emerges as the superior. This perspective challenges our traditional understanding of what constitutes murder, as Fink's mentality blurs the line between killing in self-defense and intentional harm. It prompts reflection on the subjective nature of morality and the justifications individuals make for their actions.
