When you say "we" do you mean you personally partake in all these activities, or do you count yourself as an exception to the rule?
- bambax 6y agoWe includes the person talking, of course. I don't see how I could say this and not include myself. I'm human (for better and worse).
- _greim_ 6y agoI hear you. While I may not have committed major atrocities personally, I believe the potential for all those things lies within me due to my human nature. Had I been born in a different time and place, I may well have participated in some of that stuff. I shudder to think about it and believe we should nurture the better aspects of our nature as much as we can, both individually and collectively.
