I don't really know a whole lot about complicated, worldly things. But I think parents and siblings, they need to be able to care for each other unconditionally. How many people could you risk your life to protect? Not that many, I bet. Everyone's top priority is taking care of themselves. But if there's anyone who can overcome that, it's flesh and blood. If you understand that feeling, then you can look at other people, and realize, this person's family cares about them, too. That's a really heavy feeling. When you think about that, it becomes a lot harder to do horrible things to them. So I think that love for your family..is really at the root of what it means to care for other people. Mohiro Kitoh
About This Quote

We all have a choice of what we want to do, where we want to live, who we want to be with. Unfortunately, most people don't realize that what you want may not always be in your best interest. For example, if you are an avid fisherman and need to go on the road for work, would you rather stay at home? If you are in a bad accident and can't move your body, would you rather be at home? If you want children, would you rather have them at home? There is nothing wrong with making choices based on the type of person that you are. What is wrong is when people make choices not out of love or compassion for another person but out of fear or selfishness.
