Be warned: If you allow yourself to see dignity in someone, you have doomed yourself to wanting to understand and help whoever it is."If you see dignity in anything, in fact--it doesn't have to be human--you will still want to understand it and help it. Many people are now seeing dignity in the lower animals and the plant world and waterfalls and deserts--and even in the entire planet and its atmosphere. And now they are helpless not to want to understand and help those things."Poor souls!
-Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
