Holocaust. Murder mysteries. Interesting to me now. The boundless things--atrocities we will do to each other. Limitless. Is it regression? If so, what are the acts of kindness and forgiveness and selflessness and sacrifice we do for others. What are the ideas we create, philosophies, opinions, rationals that go against our primal instincts? Progression, evolution? Evolution of morality?
But of course, we are not the only species which makes these sacrifices and are compassionate to others other than our own offspring. We've seen dogs and cats risk their lives and safety for humans. We've seen unusual animal friendships between species.
Pondering this stuff amuses me, but it inspires the question about living in the moment. Should analyzing things the way I do get in the way of my wish to be in the moment and my practice of being?
