We have become rich, beyond historic imagination, and like all people grown rich and comfortable we have become fools. Religion is for the poor, we believe in Gaia and recycle -even though it is a foolish pastime. We have emptied the asylums and torn down skid rows and then lavished “compassion” from afar on the poor wretches who cannot navigate this world.

And here is one such soul scrounging for nickels, ripping used bottles and cans from the trash and spreading whatever germs they contain, because we never thought that the risks that plague all human kind could come looking for us, even when we offer them a comfortable home.

What kind of fools could have incentivized such behavior? Could have been so detached from ultimate reality? Could have inhabited our very mirrors?
