Charles Sherrington, in his Gifford Lectures at Edinburgh in 1937, entitled
Man on his Nature (1941, chapter 12), hinted at the possibility that
if human beings ever came face to face with their true natures that knowledge
might trigger the demise of human civilization. To him, evidently,
humans prefer to consider themselves the lowest of angels rather than the
highest of beasts. I am of the opinion that if we were to comprehend fully
the awesome nature of mindness, we would, in fact, respect and admire
each other all the more.
