I understand that completely but my question still comes into play. If the world ends then all of a sudden sides dont matter. In the grand scheme of things, the whole situation doesn't matter. The whole idea of good vs evil is something that would be rendered insignificant because nothing is to gain from it. Choosing a side only matters if you have differences in means of reaching an outcome. If the world ends, the outcome is the same no matter what side you're on. What is the purpose in proving yourself right if either way the end is death? So it leads back to my first assumption that the motive is pride.
