Satoru: I'm suspicious of those who talk of 'embracing strangers'. Is human nature so magnanimous? Don't altruists usually have hidden ulterior motives?
Ying: I know how you feel. At the same time, why expect the worst from others?
Dmiritri: Why expect anything? Expectations create the seed of frustration.
Frida: Yeah, yeah . . . I know your script. If you're expect people to relinquish expectations, save yer breath.

Peacemaking


Embracing friends
and helping strangers
are small ways of fostering peace.

Saying 'no'
to greed and prejudice
are small steps towards harmony.

Peace may seem
distant & unattainable
but we can create small pieces of peace
and over time
isn't that something big?

AR3X108: [Translation: Well, lots of people gave it lip-service.]
