Oh, definitely, but unfortunately some people will always be destructive to the way others wish to live. Most people just want to live in the way they choose - and most other people are happy to let them, as long as they're not hurting anyone. It's that minority that think they can decide how others live, what they do for work, the foods they eat, where they build their houses - those are the ones it's impossible to get rid of. Humanity on the whole is good, but no one's been able to rid us of that percentage of the bad yet. Garden only accepts contracts from those wanting to improve life, not those who want to invade and capture - it's better that those trained for it should fight then that young clerk who should be behind a desk, adding up taxes, isn't it? He'd only get injured, or even killed, on a battlefield.
[Quistis didn't get openly philosophical too often - she was practical, maybe too practical, but this was her way of life she was talking about, and she meant what she said. Better someone who had some honor and was trained to stay alive fought a battle and not those who weren't suited to the task at all. It made the effects, and the death toll, so much less devastating.
[And she smiled at his question.] I have my friends - my family. They help me. [It was a simple answer; it didn't need a complicated one.]
