It's learned behavior.

So?

You can unlearn it.

Think of concentric circles. The inner circles are ourselves, then the family, then the tribe, then the neighboring tribe, so on and so on. The further you get away from the center, the more foreign things become. The people in the outer circles, they become the other.

"Well if it's any consolation Maurice, your feelings aren't instinctual. It's cultural. It's learned behavior. So, you can unlearn it."

A long time ago, the raven looked down from the sky and saw that the people of the world were living in darkness. The ball of light was kept hidden by a selfish old chief. So the raven turned himself into a spruce needle and floated on the river where the chief's daughter came for water. She drank the spruce needle. She became pregnant and gave birth to a boy, who was the raven in disguise. The baby cried and cried until the chief gave him the ball of light to play with. As soon as he had the light, the raven turned back into himself. The raven carried the light into the sky. From then on, we no longer lived in darkness.

Goethe's final words, "More light!" Ever since we crawled out of that primordial slime, that's been our unifying cry, "More light!" Sunlight, torchlight, candlelight, neon, incandescent. Light to banish the darkness from our caves, to illuminate our roads, the insides of our refrigerators. Big floods for the night games at Soldier's Field, little tiny flashlight for those books we read under the covers when we're supposed to be asleep. Light is more than watts and foot-candles. Light is metaphor. "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet." "Rage, rage against the dying of the light." "Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom, lead thou me on! The night is dark and I am far from home, lead thou me on!" "Arise, shine, for thy light has come." Light is knowledge, light is life. Light is light.

You’re trying to recapture the illusion that you’re in control and you’re not. Man, nobody is. I mean, we’re dust, were atoms. You and I are bound together in ways that we can never comprehend. — Chris to Maurice in the episode “Ill Wind” (4.16)
