    Yes, and unfortunately that’s why the world is the way it is. If empathy, creativity and humility were the values that would take us forward in society, everyone would be better off. But that’s a utopia that will never happen, I’m afraid. Because there will always be people who take advantage of the good nature of others to gain an advantage for themselves. That seems to be human nature - and will also be the downfall of humanity, I think. The tyranny of selfishness, built on the shoulders of good people and only made possible by their ruthless exploitation.
