>yet the action will always fall short of the intent and require new cycles.

This is a case of an endless story.

This is more about the stabber. The "nice guy" is the experimentalist, and he's being nice just to see how far the "savage one" will go. I got this idea from the notion of 'overkill' from anthropology.

>The term overkill usually indicates the infliction of massive injuries by far exceeding the extent necessary to kill the victim.

In other words, even in death, the opponent refuses to give in. It is the same pattern of objects and desires that fail to function as resources, fail to be consumed, and thus remain unfulfilled. Why does this happen?

Well, the "nice guy" isn't so nice. He gives in because he understands the situation perfectly, but only step-by-step as it unfolds. The assailant is no different, each preparing the other's next move like a pawl and ratchet wheel. To the nice guy, caving to the pressure is the embodiment of his own superiority, of transcending his initial, resentful instincts to cling to his goods, his wife, and his life. To the assailant, each act of violence aims at **spiritually** marking his dominion over the nice guy. However, the nice guy doesn't know any better than surrendering in a passively Kafkaesque fashion, which silently communicates his message: "Go ahead, continue. I don't care. I have ascended." It's a very fatal way to have the last word.

What happens when the nice guy gets killed? When the story supposedly meets its end? He keeps saying, "Go ahead, continue. I don't care. I have ascended," effectively guaranteeing that the story doesn't end. The myth (this very analysis) is just the way the assailant (me) deals with this unboundedness to find peace of mind and move on. It reorganizes what happened to prevent this kind of "stack overflow" and put an end to the story. Morals are perfect in the syntactic sense of the term: they accomplish by terminating. To do so, they masquerade as a conclusion, whereas in reality, they reorganize facts by silently ordering the narration from the very beginning. From A to Z, they are all about coherence and the establishment of a system by literal cut-elimination.
