Careful Slice of History

I don’t care which careful slice of history you choose to cling to, there is no part of being human that does not include the death spectacle: the resort to killing, through war or “justice” or revenge. Curious ways of practicing our humanity, we humans have. 

Lidia Yuknavitch in “The Book of Joan” 

Humanity's history is a mixture of beautiful kindness but also horrendous violence. It is hard to forget our faults but it is also important to remember our compassion and strength.
