"I just mean… things are often more than they seem."
"You are right about that, at least."
"You felt them, didn't you? They're alive. As alive as you or me."
"Even if they are, that does not change what they have been used for. What they have done."
"…I know. Believe me, I do. They each have their good and their bad. They've done good and bad. But… isn't that part of what makes them alive?"
"Perhaps."
"I like to think that anyone can become better. Even them."
"And that is what makes you better. Don't lose your light. We all need it."
"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up." —Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, NIV
