It's mathematical, to do with the numbers of souls we can keep close.
I can't remember the 2 young French sociologists names, or even exactly when I read their thesis. How ever, they travelled the world to prove their theory.
One, the "tourist", the other, the "hidden cameraman". The tourist would suddenly drop to the ground writhing, shacking.
In the little village, people came out of every door to help.
In the big city, people crossed the street to "not get involved".
The same pattern all over the world. The conclussion? The more people crowded around us, the more we have to insulate ourselves from them, for our own sanity.
The more we have to insulate ourselves, the worse we can be to others.
Some go on to become the Adolph Hitler's, the Idi Amin,s, the Adnan Koshogi's, the Robert Mugabi's of the world. Others steal little girls called Madeliene, or push wheelchair bound American cruiseliner passengers over the side of ships at sea. Remember the
Achille Laura?
On the other hand, it has been a lovely sunny winters day here today.
