Something to think about
While going over some material that my daughter was working on for a 1st year English essay, I came across the following passage that struck a chord:
"We fear," remarked an Eskimo shaman respondnig to a religious question from the explorer Knud Rasmussen some fifty years ago. "We fear the cold and things we do not understand, but most of all we fear the doings of the heedless ones among us."
Loren Eisley, "The Winter of Man", in "The Art of the Essay"
