Coming cruelty
Our world is cruel, and stupid is one who does not understand or does not recognize this. The notorious law of the jungle and natural selection – all this scientifically explains cruelty, gives it meaningfulness. And, strangely enough, this feature of the surrounding world was created not by man, but by nature itself. Strong animals devour the weak, so it was always. The problem is that a person, in theory, does not need to harm his fellow humans, because he is already at the top of the food chain and he does not need to adapt, survive.
