I think that might be stress talking.
Everybody agrees that goodness and beauty matter. All of our stories and movies and ideologies say as much.
But when stressed. When security is at stake. And especially if nobody is watching. Yeah we can become selfish little rats.
My point is we go up and down like that. From human to rat and back again. Depending on our stress level.
The state: better manufacture endless crises then!
That's a very deep, generous and insightful post. Thanks. ๐
