"The human animal is a beautiful and terrible creature, capable of
limitless compassion and unfathomable cruelty. If you wish to find that which
becomes the dividing line between mankind and other biological classifications,
it rests not in brain size, dominance, or even emotional capability, but lies in
the unique capacity for human beings to reflect on their actions and show
regret, what is most certainly the ability to empathize, that gives them their
position. All mammals understand...
love and affection, but only man shows the propensity to place himself into the
shoes of another life-form. Losing this capability, among individuals of this
species, reduces them below their much heralded position, and readies the
climate for the likely fall of man, the fall from grace."
