Nothing new under the sun. It can be argued that there has been progress and development over the last two millennia. However, the nature of man has hardly changed. Traits such as selfishness, envy, imperiousness and abuse of power existed then as they do today. They always lead to wars or the destruction of nature.

ReplyDeleteHugs, Sean.

Sean, sadly that is the perfect way of describing the nature of man.
DeleteAnd since there's nothing we can do about it, let's just hug each other ;-)
DeleteAixò ja ve de lluny... i encara estem igual.
ReplyDeleteUna abraçada, Sean.
Yes. Unfortunately.
DeleteAbraçades, Carme.
Sadly true. And doing nothing is also a choice - frequently the wrong one.
ReplyDeleteAnd there is no glimmer of hope.

ReplyDeleteSo am I.
