Humanity is not merely a physical condition, it is a state of mind. To
be human is to be essentially rational and productive. The human
mentality (or soul) looks upon the world, the land, the animals and
plants, the natural forces, as things to be mastered for the benefit of
himself and his posterity. On the other hand, the predator, or savage
mentality does not seek to to master the world, but to be the master of
men. The savage prefers not to sustain himself by his own effort, but to
seize and consume the lives and property of others for material and
spiritual sustenance. To the predator, justice consists of "getting away
with it" -- those who rightfully resist the predator are to be punished
or destroyed.
