| Quote of the moment |
| Man and society are interdependent, hence the quality of man's behavior as an individual and as a participant in his society is inseparable. Reparations have been attempted in the past in order to lessen the malaise and dysfunctional attitudes of our social world in order to build a society that is more just and equal. Institutions and organizations have been established with their charters of noble ideology to combat these social problems. For all intents and purposes, the objectives have been laudable; but it has been unfortunate that basically good ideas have been defeated by man's inherent self-interest. |

| “you were with me all day; stood with me, sat with me, talked with me, looked at me, ate with me, drank with me; and yet, your last act was to clutch for a monster, not only an innocent man, but the most pitiable of all men. So far may even the best man err, in judging the conduct of one with the recesses of whose condition he is not acquainted.” |
| ~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. “Benito Cereno” (1855), The Piazza Tales and Other Prose Pieces 1839-1860, The Writings of Herman Melville, vol. 9, eds. Harrison Hayford, Alma A.
