Reply #4: It's Our Arrogance,

[Solomon]

vanity and false sense of importance. We spin everything to make it seem as though it were necessary, when all we have really done is to add to our vanity. So that we can smell good, look good, eat good, we do awful things to other people, so that we can not have to stand in a gas line. Vanity. We think we're better than other people. To assuage our guilt, we spin reasons why other people had to be shitted on. The biggest reason always being, "we're givin 'em freedom. It's all for their benefit." When you shit on the whole world this way, the end is near. No man is an island.
