When I watched the movie How to Train Your Dragon, there were a couple of concepts I thoroughly enjoyed. The first and probably the most obvious one, is that real learning is better than picking and choosing how much information you're willing to accept or even seek out.
The second one is about forgiveness. The Vikings and the dragons had been at war for generations. In most scenarios, if two factions are have been violent towards each other for so long, one side being nice means the other would die, if even just for vengeance, and the cycle continues.
But the dragons are better than that. When the vikings stopped trying to kill them, they immediately responded likewise. The dragons held no grudges. If the dragons had been more like people, everybody would have died. But instead, they learned to live in harmony, simply because they forgave and understood each other.
