Misato: If you take that into consideration, then perhaps this world isn't that bad.Shinji: Still, the reality itself might not be bad, but I could still hate myself.Hyuga:: But it's your mind which takes reality and separates it into what's bad and hateful.Aoba: It's only the mind which separates reality from truth.Maya: Any new position from which you view your reality will change your perception of its nature. It's all literally a matter of perspective.Kaji: There are as many truths as there are people.Kensuke: But there is only one truth that is your truth. That's the one that's formed by whatever point of view that you chose to view it from. It's a revised perception that protects you.Toji: That's true. And one can have a perspective that's far too small.Hikari: However, a person can only see things from the perspective that they chose to see them from.Asuka: One must learn to judge things via the perceived truths that one receives from others.Misato: For example, sunny days make you feel good.Rei: Rainy days make you feel gloomy.Asuka: If you are told this is so, then that is what you believe is so.Ritsuko: But you can have fun on a rainy day as well!Fuyutsuki: Your truth can be changed simply by the way you accept it. That's how fragile the truth for a human is.Kaji: A person's truth is so simple, that most ignore it to concentrate on what they think are deeper truths.Gendo: You, for example, are simply unused to what it is to be liked by others.Misato: You've never learned how to deal with fearing what others feel about you and so you avoid it.Shinji: But, don't the others hate me?Asuka: What are you, stupid? Haven't you realized it's all in your imagination, you megadork!Shinji: But, I hate myself.Rei: One who truly hates himself cannot love, he cannot place his trust in another.Shinji: I'm a coward. I'm cowardly, sneaky and weak.Misato: No, only if you think you are, but if you know yourself, you can take care of yourself.Shinji: [introspectively] I hate myself. But, maybe, maybe I could love myself. Maybe, my life can have a greater value. That's right!. I am no more or less than myself. I am me! I want to be myself! I want to continue existing in this world! My life is worth living here![Shinji's room cracks open and he finds himself on a small blue globe with the cast of the series]Everyone: [applauding] Congratulations!Shinji: Thank you all![last line of the series]
