The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

The human animal is a beautiful and terrible creature,

capable of limitless compassion and unfathomable cruelty.

If you wish to find that which becomes the dividing line between

mankind and other biological classifications, it rests not in

brain size, dominance, or even emotional capability. It lies within

the innate capacity for human beings to reflect on their actions,

and show regret. It is most certainly the ability to empathize that gives

them their position. All mammals understand love and affection, but

only man shows a propensity to place himself into the shoes of

another life-form. Losing this capability, among individuals of the species,

reduces them below their much heralded position,

and readies the climate for the likely fall of man.

A fall from grace.
