Down the slippery slope!
Whenever humanity uses self-centeredness and violence against the weak - you can believe that all citizens will reap a snake that will eventually come back to bite them!
“If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small.
Deliver those who are drawn toward death, And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, “Surely we did not know this,” Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it? And will He not render to each man according to his deeds?”
(Proverbs 24:10-12)
