        “We have learned, as a society, the bitter lessons of mistrust and disharmony, of not working together, and of ignoring opportunities which present themselves, even unexpectedly, and we have learned that when we work together, as a unified herd, we can accomplish great things.  Oftentimes, those whom we do not understand, those who remain isolated from the herd, can be a source of wisdom and knowledge, and we should not fear them unless we have reason to do so.  In my own experience, I, along with the other citizens of Ponyville, feared and shunned Zecora because she was different than the rest of us, and it took the courage of a filly to seek her out, and bless us with her knowledge.  Can we not be braver than Applebloom?
