A wonderfully sweet-sounding principle that does nothing to elucidate why exactly they should be willing to leave 75% of their race trapped inside Zodiark when they could yet be saved. Venat didn't even tell them they were in a conflict, why should they believe her on nothing but the basis of unfounded rhetoric?

Likewise, the survivors of the Eighth Umbral Calamity didn't erase their suffering.
For all they knew, that is exactly what they were doing.
