"I think we've made a mistake," he says softly. "We've all started to put down the virtues of the other factions in the process of bolstering our own. I don't want to do that. I want to be brave, and selfless, and smart, and kind, and honest." He clears his throat. "I continually struggle with kindness." ( Chapter 31 par. 75)
In many other Dystopian stories, the main characters would find an old book (or an old person) that described how society was in the past. But Four and Tris don't have those old resources, so they don't know what life was like before the five-faction system. Still, Four believes that the government has made a mistake in dividing the people into groups. He believes that everyone has the capability to be Divergent, and if everyone were Divergent they could be equal. Dividing people into different factions may keep peace for a while, but it is not fair for those who cannot fit into the system; like Four and Tris.
