Latin for "Give Us Peace", that is unexpected.
Another contrast of dualities: competition vs cooperation. Empathy vs selfishness. Violence vs peace.
In his book "The Selfish Gene" Dawkins argues (effectively in my opinion) that what seems to be altruistic behavior is often in our self-interest. He shows how teachings like "Love thy neighbor" or "Turn the other cheek" can enhance our chances for survival. Even if approached from completely different world views it is still possible to arrive at the same memes of tolerance and forgiveness.
But actually following these policies is a lot harder than just paying them lip service. In my own case I still sometimes succumb to my vengeful nature even though I know better.
