Humankind's depravities have been well documented since the beginning of recorded human history. It is inherent in the human beast to seek to satisfy one's own needs and desires. The needs/desires of fellow human beings barely registers on these self-centered people...if at all.
ReplyDeleteWell, we have to be able to see past ourselves in order to understand the whole. In so doing we gain a higher vantage point that changes the way we perceive. I realize that most people don't think about things like this. That's why we're writers. I would be so lonely in this world without other writers.
