We, echoes of stardust, humanity at its fullest, we are
astounding. The capacity we have to be kind. Giving money to strangers. Running
towards danger to save another. Laying our lives down for our friends. The capacity
we have to be evil. Killing fellow students. Mocking dying men. Trampling over
others in a race to the top.
How does this happen? How is there so much possibility for
good and evil in one person? The baby who will be born tomorrow has the
capacity to be Mother Theresa or Ted Kaczynski. We are potential extremes. How do
we do it?
i think and feel that we are far more complicated than we could ever understand. love this. it's so human to wonder.
