One of the advantages of long trips and of riding horses is that it gives a person plenty of time to contemplate and to think things through. It is also nice to have Sir Frederikson along as he is well read and educated. It is nice to have someone of that caliber to bounce ideas and concepts off of. I posed him a question. I said, “Can we be proud that we are not blood thirsty like the savage? That we are civilized? or if we looked closely, would we find that the reason we are not blood thirsty savages is that we are incapable of such a sanguine nature? That we have really not overcome anything, but are lily livered yellowbellies so far below the savage that we can’t even achieve his thirst for violence and blood?”
This is interesting
