I don't know how we do it - but we do!
The other day I was pondering my feelings about "Life.....& Everything" and had a brain shaking revelation - we do it to ourselves!
We use every method known to our species to convince ourselves that if we could intervene we would intervene... but we don't!
From the safe vantage of "in here" we see the world "out there" and we put on our dismayed, disgusted and agrieved look and decry the horror as shameful and unjust but... We live our pampered, privileged lives pretending that "it is not our fault that... ethnic group X has done all it could to erradicate ethnic group Y or any number of brain numbing occurrences that regularly blight the media of our times. We read the news. We wring our hands. We turn our backs and silently give thanks that it is so far away.
We pretend that our education precludes all possibility that blame might be attributed to "US" fot the heinous acts of "THEM". We know better - we are superior!
Actually this is all B***S***.

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book. It has been compiled and recompiled many times and under many different editorships. It contains contributions from countless numbers of travellers and researchers."
