Emet-Selch Is Not That Tragic

@ Savage Elf

But he DOESN'T save those people in the future. By changing the past, he prevents them even existing, and they did not support him doing this.

Now it has been suggested that events ended up in a second time line being created which may turn out to be true. In which case they didn't cease to exist but they are still doomed to deal with the desperate consequences of the Eighth Calamity. So G'raha hasn't helped them at all, he's just abandoned them. More importantly, G'raha had NO IDEA this would happen. He carried out his plan expecting to die himself but knowing FULL WELL he was ending everyone in the future. I think you misunderstand how far in the future that is, it's not just a couple of months, it's many years later, generations later. All those people go POOF and cease to be, and G'raha knew that. He still chose to do it.

Please explain how that's any different to Zodiark/Hydaelyn/the Convocation/the Ascians actions? All of them chose a path to follow that saved one thing at the cost of another
