Pongo shrugged, “If it gives me patient 1% better chance of survival, it is worth it. As for Proper, well that differs from perspective to perspective. Even the Vulcans acknowledge that, even when they believe the rest of us have the wrong perspective. As for the plants, the study I am referencing, took two plants in the same environmental situation, one was only subjected to calm music, and tranquil sounds. Whereas plant 2 was insulted and screamed at daily, it was actually to show the effects of bullying on humanoids as a PSA, but had interesting results.” Pongo concluded.

Tauren raised an eyebrow. “You may be operating under a slight misunderstanding of the Vulcan psyche, sir. I think perhaps it would be best to say that we do not believe emotions are wrong. We believe they are wrong for us. Unbridled passions before my people embraced Logic made us an exceptionally violent and self-destructive species. Logic works for us. But we also observe the diversity of the universe, and we see many races which do not suppress their passions can also be successful and largely avoid self-destructive impulses. Their perspective is not wrong, merely different.”
