“It lives in each and every one of us. Though we rarely, if ever, admit it. We all have a monster inside.”
I’ve been an avid student of history my whole life (my college degree is in History); and I’ve said for many, many years that savagery and barbarism are mankind’s natural inclination, and that peace and tranquility are aberrations. So sad; so very, very sad.
I guess I’m not one of those “glass half full” kind of guys.
“I guess I’m not one of those “glass half full” kind of guys.”
You have a good understanding of human nature, that’s all. It’s a scary fact that the veneer of “civilization” can be miles and miles miles wide but it’s never more than about half an inch deep. And it doesn’t take much to strip it away.
On that note I bid you a pleasant day. Find some beauty in it.
Best,
