When somebody hurts themselves and feels the pain they are an animal.
When they hurt themselves and feel the pain of others they are human.
Empathy makes us human
Adios Desmond Morris – who saw us for what we are!
Goodbye to Desmond Morris – one of my heroes. The writer of The Naked Ape and Human Zoo.
He had the audacity to look at humans as animals – just another bloody ape!
The Human Zoo : Morris, Desmond: Amazon.co.uk: Books
Well these inquisitive, inventive and highly destructive apes are presently wrecking the planet, bombing, starving, polluting, torturing and murdering with gay abandon!
Isn’t it great!
While the religious nutters talk about us being ‘created’ in God’s image (Must be the Old Testament God of vengeance and cruelty) and deny all other creatures have souls!
I wonder if Ladbrokes take odds on how long it’ll take us to finish the job?
Anyway, I digress (as usual).
All that I can saw is Thank you Desmond – a voice of sanity who demonstrated that some apes are capable of intelligence after all.
The Time Traveller – now available in 3 formats
I wanted to put a different slant on a hackneyed Sci-fi theme. I think I achieved that. A fast-paced novel that focusses on human nature and is packed with adventure. Thanks to Brian Beck for the superb editing and proof reading!!
Here it is! Indulge yourself! Cheap at half the price. A bargain!
Billionaire Brian Nether wanted someone to build him a time machine. He found a genius, a tormentor, and a friend in the eccentric Clive Hilditch.
Brian steps into the machine expecting nothing more than a glimpse of the past. Instead, he is hurled into a world that should not exist — a Rome reshaped by his own arrival, a Republic trembling on the edge of empire, and a future that is no longer guaranteed.
Lost in a century of war, ambition, and betrayal, Brian discovers that every choice he makes ripples through time. What appeared straightforward reveals itself to be far more intricate than he had ever anticipated.
His insecurities dictate the man he becomes. And the man he becomes may be far more dangerous than the man he left behind.
As timelines fracture and history bends around him, Brian must decide whether he is Rome’s saviour… or the architect of its darkest age.
History can be rewritten. But time always takes its toll.
