Don, I think that the human race are angels in training, presently a bit confused by the painful limitations of their mortality. They can do far better, and I trust that they shall in time.

We all have an absolutely tremendous potential for goodness and creativity, but we waste most of it mucking around in petty nonsense and fear-driven or appetite-driven behaviours of one sort or another. We waste it on revenge, of all things! Nevertheless I think we are very noble beings in our essential nature. Like I said...angels in training.
