Careful.
That one's deadly.
What's it doing here if it's poisonous?
You're presuming that poison is bad.
Uh-huh.
On its own, the sap from this twig would kill you.
But combine it with the nectar from this flower,
and suddenly it contains incredible healing properties.
Let me ask you, how confident are you
in your ability to discern good from evil?
Usually pretty obvious.
And your basis for something being good is what?
Well, if it helps me...
Or the people that I love.
And evil?
It's harmful.
If it hurts someone I care about.
So, pretty much, you are the judge?
Yeah, I guess.
You ever been wrong?
Or changed your opinion over time?
Sure.
And there are billions like you...
Each determining what you think is good and evil.
And when your good clashes with your neighbor's evil,
arguments ensue.
Wars break out.
Because all insist on playing God.
You weren't meant to do any of that.
All on your own.
This was always meant to be a conversation between friends.
What do you think?
It's still a mess.
Yes, it is, Mack.
Wild, wonderful, and perfectly in process.
This mess is you.
