And thanks for sharing this.

I thought this passage was of particular relevance today:

"Thus the world becomes a battleground marked by relentless competition where each seeks to prevail over the others. Even when bonds are formed, too often they are not based on true empathy but on personal expediency, easily broken when they no longer serve our purposes. "

How true.
