One time Allie and I skipped school and went to see this foreign film called Los Diablos, where these villagers found a glowing blue ball and peeled pieces off of it to see what was inside.

The poison comes out, and you die, even though you have beautiful glowing pieces of blue truth in your fingers.

Secondly, there is always gain in changing a bad condition for an uncertain one, and that the ills of others do not need to sting us as our own do.
