Human society plays out the same thing, but on a larger time scale. Constant chronic problems, century after century. Wars are like infections. Here is another major infection in Kosovo. It breaks out, it could kill the patient.
People are weary.
They feel they have tried everything. I come onto the scene, I have different solutions, different understanding. You will go to the brink, even as I did. The lure of an easy solution, or to just give up, is too strong. Maybe this infection can be sealed up for a time.
