Watch and wait for you do not know the time or the place, and it will come when you least expect it.

What have we become, when an early morning trampling marks our progress as the compassionate, intelligent family of man? What are we thinking? The essential paradox is that we do not. We act, individually and as groups, with a herd mentality. Like cruel Jonas Chuzzlewit, we vicariously live by the Dickensian "...rule for bargains: Do other men, for they would do you. That's the true business precept." A murderous doctrine. Unconscionable.
