Man has the largest capacity for reason, for thought, for problem solving. He’s inventive, he’s creative and he’s driven.

He also has the capacity for cruelty unbound. The sheer evil man can perpetuate on such wide scales is boggling in its immensity.

Torture, war, bigotry, slavery, weapons of mass destruction, bringing ruin on his neighbors, friends and family - locally and globally - within his realm.

Also from these same depths comes the capacity for love and compassion, for devotion to others above self as to bring joy from the lowest to the highest.

And that is what saves Man from himself.
