MANKIND
In a just and humane world, first we tend the sick and dying. First we feed the starving and poor. First we rescue the none swimmers. First we empower the meek and weak. First we protect the women and children. Then and only then do we next care for the greatest majority. When we have finished these tasks, what is left may be divided among the strong, healthy, wealthy, full, minority. If this is the path we take, we can then say we are human. If this is the path we take, we can then claim we are warriors and men.
