* On the collective level, there
is no escaping the consequences of our decisions and actions, or those made in
our name. Intentions make little difference here. We will forever be haunted by
our past.
* We are better off seeking
justice than revenge, but the dynamics of human relations are geared primarily
towards facilitating the latter alternative.
* On the collective level, we
learn primarily by repetition and mimicry, not deduction, which is why history
repeats itself. Progress, both moral and scientific, relies mostly on the
intuitive leaps made by some individuals, but more often promoted and popularized
by other individuals.
