A far bigger problem of what is wrong with humanity is the cliched "Man's inhumanity to man", i.e. lovelessness, as frequently demonstrated on this very site.
It could be argued that if we were to consider EACH OTHER more, we would together look after our common environment better.
Still sad to watch, though.

Originally posted by C Hessyes this is exactly what I am saying, we are conscious of inflicting pain on others, it is the very essence of spirituality, this consciousness of suffering.
