I'm not entirely sure how I would define my guiding motivation in life, but I swear "do no harm" would be part of it.

I despair at those who believe otherwise.

I'm not sure if I could keep a motivation like that if, for example, my family was killed by a drone strike.

I'd try - seriously.

I don't know who came up with "an eye-for-eye and tooth-for-tooth would lead to a world of the blind and toothless" but I believe it.

I'm sure it's something I'd struggle with when the hard choice arises, but I honestly believe I'd try to keep to it.

Yea but you weren't born with these ideas, you can't know how you'd be if you grew up in a different context.

Nobody is born with these ideas.

I think by "born" he meant "growing up with".
