Oliver: Good evening. We are here tonight to talk about violence, or maybe human nature. We are here to talk about human nature. Wait, a quote. A great philosopher
[Friedrich Nietzsche]
Oliver: once wrote; 'In times of peace the warlike man attacks himself.' This is the root of all our problems, and by this, I mean we. We are the root of all our problems, our confusion, our anger, our fear of things we don't understand. Violence in other words, is ignorance. Figure your shit out, that's what I'd say. There are two kinds of stories we tell our children. The first kind; 'Once upon a time there was a fuzzy little rabbit named Frizzytop, who went on a quantum fun adventure, only to face a big setback, which he overcame through perseverance and by being adorable.' This kind of story teaches empathy. Put yourself in Frizzytop's shoes, in other words. The other kind; 'Oliver Anthony Bird if you get too close to that ocean you'll be sucked into the sea and drowned.' This kind of story teaches them fear, and for the rest of their lives, these two stories compete. Empathy and fear. And so I bring you tonight's play, the work in five acts about a fuzzy little bunny, who got too close to the ocean. And what happened next, let us begin.

Oliver: "In times of peace, the warlike man attacks himself"

Narrator: Have you ever seen a shape in a cloud, or a face in a knot of wood? Every few months Jesus appears to the unsuspecting in a piece of toast. Or does he? Human beings are pattern seeking animals. For thousands of years, our survival depended on being able to spot patterns in nature to find predators hiding in the wild. And so now, centuries later, we are still looking, still searching every cloud for faces, as if our lives depend on it. So strong is our belief that a pattern must exist that the human mind will project the pieces that don't fit. So, where the pessimist sees danger hiding behind every back, the optimist sees friendship. Which is why, when we encounter coincidence, we often see conspiracy.

Syd: We all have our role to play in this war we're fighting; good against evil. There is no good stronger than a mother's love.
