Violence, like a plague, is contagious.
One driver snaps in traffic, and most join the fray—cutting lanes, cursing sharp. Irritation, rage, hate weave a web that traps them all.
Fortunately, the reverse asymmetry exists too.
In the blackest, soul-tear hour, sometimes no word cuts it—just one man's rock-steady calm. The rest wake sharp. Their storms ease.
In both cases, the downward or upward trend wasn’t started by a group or a crowd —it was sparked by an individual. But why does such a wild imbalance kick in?
The secret is simple: within that person already burned either harmony or chaos. And the group’s flammability is like that of alcohol or dry twigs in the forest.
Odd to chew on: that "fire-starter" might be you, me, any soul.
A bit frightening, isn’t it—to carry such responsibility? It’s easier to believe, “In this vast, complex, and crazy world, nothing really depends on me.”
But what if your own fire lights the chain—up or down?
Yours sincerely,
