I really have to wonder at how quickly we're destroying this place.

[ Archer announces himself over the amber with that casual and dire remark. His tone is bored. ]

First of all, we've upset the balance of nature by killing a predator and allowing defenseless prey animals to multiply unchecked. Those rabbits will probably suffer once they meet the cruel reality of life beyond this tree, you know.

And now we've nearly destroyed the tree itself with our meddling. Isn't that impressive?

[ Now his voice is just dripping sarcasm. ]

Well done, everyone. Whoever brought us all here should really have expected these results. It's exactly what human beings do, after all.

The ultimate reality is that as peaceful as something may appear there are always oddities which result the cycle of violence continuing.

[A moment later she realize maybe she shouldn't be miss pessimist entirely.] That doesn't mean peace isn't achievable. It simply means it doesn't last forever.

Well, it's natural.

[ Unfortunately, he doesn't realize he shouldn't be mister pessimist entirely. ]

There's only so much happiness and comfort to go around, and far more people--so they'll always fight over it to achieve their own wishes.

[No please pick up on not being a pessimist all the time. It's going to go downhill so quickly if they keep it up.]

I wish thinking more that some people are prone to being irrational, violent, greedy or whatever else one might consider to be a negative driving factor.

[steelmyself]

Hmmm?

[ He raises his brows. ]

Only some people? Aren't most people capable of terrible things, in the end?

Perhaps a few are very pure, but they're outliers.
