If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?

    ¡Si todo fuera tan simple! si tan solo hubiera personas malvadas en algún lugar cometiendo malas acciones, y solo fuera necesario separarlos del resto de nosotros y destruirlos. pero la línea que divide el bien y el mal atraviesa el corazón de todo ser humano. ¿Y quién está dispuesto a destruir un pedazo de su propio corazón?

    اگر همه چیز خیلی ساده بود! اگر در جایی افراد بدی وجود داشتند که مرتکب اعمال بد می شدند و فقط لازم بود که آنها را از بقیه ما جدا کنیم و آنها را نابود کنیم. اما خط تقسیم خیر و شر از قلب هر انسانی می گذرد. و چه کسی حاضر است تکه ای از قلب خود را از بین ببرد؟

    si seulement tout était si simple! si seulement il y avait des gens méchants quelque part commettant de mauvaises actions, et qu'il était seulement nécessaire de les séparer du reste d'entre nous et de les détruire. mais la ligne qui sépare le bien et le mal traverse le cœur de chaque être humain. et qui est prêt à détruire un morceau de son propre cœur?

    mura mbeadh ann ach go raibh sé chomh simplí sin! mura mbeadh ann ach daoine olc áit éigin ag déanamh drochghníomhais, agus nár ghá ach iad a scaradh ón gcuid eile dínn agus iad a scriosadh. ach gearrann an líne a roinneann maith agus olc trí chroí gach duine. agus cé atá sásta píosa dá chroí féin a scriosadh?

    Si ergo omnia sunt unicum ut simplex? quodam modo enim mali mala committere, si et solum oporteret nos separare a destruat. sed bonum et malum secat lineam dividere in omni homini cor. et quidem promptus est perdere fragmen cor suum?

    se tudo fosse tão simples! se ao menos houvesse pessoas más em algum lugar cometendo más ações, e fosse necessário apenas separá-las do resto de nós e destruí-las. mas a linha que divide o bem e o mal atravessa o coração de cada ser humano. e quem está disposto a destruir um pedaço de seu próprio coração?

    如果只是這麼簡單!如果只有邪惡的人在某處犯下邪惡的行為,只有將他們與我們其他人分開並摧毀他們才是必要的。但劃分善惡的界限貫穿了每個人的心。谁愿意摧毀自己的一塊心?
