->''At the time, I hadn't seen any of my fellow Chinese in a long time, but one day some of them showed up in a slide. One, with his hands tied behind him, was in the middle of the picture; the others were gathered around him. Physically, they were as strong and healthy as anyone could ask, but their expressions revealed all too clearly that spiritually they were calloused and numb. According to the caption, the Chinese whose hands were bound had been spying on the [[UsefulNotes/KatanasOfTheRisingSun Japanese military]] for the UsefulNotes/{{Russians|WithRifles}}. He was about to be decapitated as a 'public example.' The other Chinese gathered around him had come to enjoy the spectacle.''

----->"Because I will not stand idly by and watch as good people, decent people are harmed by actions not of their own doing!" he was surprised at the emotion in his own voice, and struggled to dim it, "It is not cowardice that is the bane of mankind! It is not hatred! It is not fear! It is apathy! It is standing by and doing nothing while others are hurting! It is watching people, good people suffer and having the power to help them but choosing not to! That is apathy, and it nearly destroyed us all! I have had enough of it in the world! I have had enough of it in my life!"
