Oh, Arrogant One

Your ideas seem highly improbable and highly arrogant:

• You are at the center of the universe?
• The sun and stars revolve around you.
• Your group is the greatest and most moral on your planet.
• An omnipotent power 
• created your species in his image
• speaks directly to you
• created everything else for the benefit of your species.
• is preoccupied with your actions
• always favors your side in battle.
• will only save other who share your beliefs

Shindler's List

The German-American woman said it was terrible if it ever really happened.

I felt she was in denial.

I said I was sure that it did happen.
I had seen the photographs.
I had heard the testimonies from survivors.
I had witnessed the collective guilt.

I said it still happens.
I said that her own government is involved in much of it.
I said her own son was going to serve in the military that commits it.
I claimed that if it stopped now, it would stop for all of eternity.
I said we could stop it.

She asked How?.
I said compassion.
