Sometimes the things mankind does in the name of progress, religion or the greater good, for itself and the planet beggar belief! It makes me think of a virus, a particularly virulent one.
Watching the news from the Middle East, looking on with dismay as centuries of architecture or culture are reduced to rubble, and lives to dust, I feel that perhaps mankind resembles a virus that is pernicious and all-consuming.
