The one thing that puts mankind above the rest of the animal kingdom is the superior quality of the brain we shelter in our fragile skulls. This delicate, nerve packed, much folded grey protein mass is capable of amazing performances. It is still the subject of continuing speculation about its full capabilities.
When performing well it is capable of incredible artistic, scientific, practical achievement, but when it runs amuck the damage can be catastrophic. The devastating achievements of people like Adolf Hitler and Joe Stalin are examples of what can happen when mental processes go astray, but the achievements of others in creating a better world fortunately more than balance out their negativity.
