Perhaps. But the reasoning seems weaker to me that way. To do things just because it is the way or a societal upbringing rather than to do it, despite circumstance.
Yeah but not every action or societal norm requires rebelling against. Some things are fine just being that way. Wanting to help people for no reason at all or even just to keep things peaceful isn't a bad thing.
I am trying to kill my father to ensure the existence of the human race who burned my mother at the stake. It is the ultimate kindness. But I do not want to give more of myself to them.

Yes, and we don't know how long we'll be here together so we should do as much to make the stay pleasant, at least between ourselves.

We have very different circumstances and I thank you for your kindness to humanity even if they might not.

Thank you. But they do not need to. It's . . . what she would have wanted.

It is. She was a doctor. She lived to help people and they killed her for it.
