As a species it is sometimes hard to see but we are evolving towards a more compassionate, loving life attitude. The recent violent and destructive events in our capital were certainly distressing but they also brought several prominent figures closer to the goal of compassion. Those events helped them realize that the self-centered, appositional path was not working for them. I am reminded of the destructive, self-centered, even somewhat antisocial, path I was following before I began recovery and a more loving, spiritual life. I had to go through that destructive period and be convinced it was not working before I could change.
