Imitation

[NickyJ]

You can just as easily imitate someone doing a bad deed, see that it was enjoyable for them, and therefor imitate it, knowing nevertheless that it was a bad thing.

Therefor, the positives and negatives cancel each other out, making imitation inherently uninherent.

On no level do I understand this question.

Giving is positive regardless of whether imitation is involved our not.the fact that you were imitating good behavior doesn't gain any inherent positive-ness from the fact that imitation was involved.

And beatings are negative regardless of whether they're in imitations of someone else. What's your point? Mine is that there is nothing inherent about imitation. Sometimes it leads to good being done, sometimes to bad, sometimes nothing.

Maybe so however imitation is not a thing but a concept

*Such an obvious question now that I think about it. Yes imitiation is positive, the more the merrier. Thanks.

Nothing is inherently anything.

Your avatar is inherently awesome. Take that jerkhole.

Imitation is unavoidable, thus good.

Except inherentness, which is inherently inherent.
