Ramza nodded at Aang. "It is rare to find such wisdom in one so young."
"We can surrender her unto the judgement of this world, or we can help keep her under guard until the Calamity has been vanquished. What we cannot do is appoint ourselves the judges of this world, killing for revenge, or for what we believe is for the common good, when bloodshed could have been avoided. That path leads unto more bloodshed, more sins committed with good intention, until we have become the very evil we should be protecting this world from."
He has no doubt in this conviction. Those who compromise themselves to further their cause end up becoming monsters, sometimes literally. He knows his sister Alma would choose to save Palitutu, to have faith that such an act of mercy would be rewarded in time, even though she could not see how. And so he knew that stating their hands was the right thing to do.
"We are not judges, nor executioners. Let us be Heroes, for that is what we were called to be."
He placed the Phoenix Down on the ground near where Palitutu lay, and hoped the other Heroes would use it to further the cause of the light, instead of giving into darkness.
