User blog comment:LDR/Possible Reaper Motive/@comment-805408-20120225044807

Personally, I think the whole thing is a combination of truth and propaganda. Ultimately the reapers are trying to make things as easy as possible by convincing or indoctrinating people. But the fact is, their existance is much more infinite and omnipresent than those of meer mortals, and that they see potential and want to 'elevate' a species... Well, who's to say they not so much 'evil' as 'unconcerned with the moral viewpoints of those whom they make decisions about'. That is to say, exterminating life may seem evil, and being processed into a reaper may seem a horrible fate, but to the reapers, it's merely culling out those who don't meet the bar and bringing unto their level those who do. An interesting concept to be sure.
