Commoner: But is there anyone who's really good? Maybe goodness is just make-believe.Priest: What a frightening...Commoner: Man just wants to forget the bad stuff, and believe in the made-up good stuff. It's easier that way.

Everyone has their own self interested recollection of events. Ends with some hope for humanity at least.
