Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split as a general thing.
I love prints of skulls and bones and have some taxidermy - a crow and a rabbit - to remind me of home. I like art and have a big portrait of Bjork.
If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise not too little and not too much we would have found the safest way to health.
