Faith in Humanity

The interesting thing I've found about blame is that it is distributed among all of the components (in regards to the impact each has made)... rather than wrested in a single thing. Example being: an avalanche kills a skier. It is not entirely the avalanches fault... and it is not entirely the skier's fault either. Blame regarding the skier's death stretches from the friend who invited the now deceased to go skiing with him... to the mother who chose not to call the skier that day (which would have included the precious time in which the avalanche took place)... to the traffic that day being so 'good'.

I reject the claim that "it is all humanity's fault"... as that seems to me folly. A good deal of things may indeed be our fault... but it remains that we are not responsible for all things.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
