DIFFERENCES ARE A MASS PHENOMENON
“‘We do not see our differences during casual conversations between individuals. It is when we form mobs, polities, armies, and economies, and compete as groups; when we unite under the banner of our myths, when we express our metaphysics, our first-beliefs in man, that those subtle tendencies, en masse find free expression, without the courtesy of daily connivance between isolated individuals. It is then, in that state, our sentiments fully exposed, we can compare the differences in our cultures, our nations and our values.”
