Are you married? Do you have anybody who is more precious to you, than
your life? Somebody you would die to protect?
Do you want to live in a world, where everybody feels that way about
you? Then join it by feeling that way about everybody.

Oh, I will. I will now leave you to your guns, to your fears and to
your violence. I will let you be whatever you want to be. But, I will
not be the one to hate you and to kill you on the street with a gun. 
A member of _your_ world will do it.
