[Reader-list] Left in dark times - Bernard Henri Levy

[Inder Salim]

 i found a very profound line in the interview by Bernard Levi

" Competition of victims relies on the idea that what is scarce is not
a scarcity of resources but is the scarcity of ability of mankind to
cry, to sympathize, and to have sorrow"

may be that is thought for  today, which we all, and particularly
those who take positions on respective  victimhood so easily...
