Well, I'd like to call them people. Wanna know why? I'll tell you even if you don't. It's because despite our choices in life, we are all people. We can hate each other, renounce our humanity or run away from the truth with a myriad of excuses, but at the heart of the matter we are all people.

As long as you never let go of that concept, you will understand that those that do let go become capable of incredible harm to one another. And when that happens, the main point to be wary of isn't when they will do incredible harm, but whether to join them in letting go as well. Because once you join them in this, you too will be capable of causing incredible harm.

Is that train of thought wrong? Or is killing each other the only real answer?
