"to negotiate the line between poignant and voyeuristic"...despite the few number of posts here, there is a very long (and not expressed) thought about how we not so successfully balance what we can do and what we should do.

"I believe that human nature is neither intrinsically good nor intrinsically evil, but individuals are born with different combinations of innate potentialities, and that it will depend upon how they are reared — to trust and love and experiment and create, or to fear and hate and conform — what kind of human beings they will become. I believe that we have not even begun to tap human potentialities, and that by continuing humble but persistent study of human behavior, we can learn consciously to create civilizations within which an increasing proportion of human beings will realize more of what they have it in them to be." Margaret Mead
