Humans are shameless creatures that carelessly ignore any misfortune which does not befall them directly. They can–and often do–turn a blind eye to all manner of wickedness so long as it does not touch them or their kin. They will bow their heads, condemning those victims for bringing calamity upon themselves, and then they will cast their eyes toward heaven in thanks while their neighbors lay dying around them.
