| 150. It's ignorance of the heart that makes a person primitive in the real sense of the word, isn't it? |
|
And it is an affliction that lays people low of every social class. While ironically, so-called primitive hunter-gatherers, like New Guinea tribesmen we saw on TV, here in the UK recently, seem astonishingly wise.
I suppose it is a truism that mankind, generally, remains as primitive as ever in that negative sense, our civilisation being a veneer - as WWII attested all too graphically. We're all cut from the same cloth, but some are vigilant to rebuff the badness in our nature, while others embrace it.
