We

I am reading "The Gift of Therapy" by Irvin D Yalom. I like it because he doesn´t try to look like The Holy Therapist. (people mostly think therapists are Models of Sanity. Not bothered by problems like us mere mortals.) He says in one chapter that his therapist (yes my dears, even therapists have to undergo therapy) once said (when he was accusing himself for being greedy and selfish) "That´s how we are." (and she didn´t of course mean "You and me scoundrels".)
We. Did anyone see this? Did you think about it? That we are all in the same boat? There are not 2 species. But one. (unless you are a dog or a cat. But then you won´t be reading this blog.) Homo sapiens!
