Agatha Christie. A date with death (№ 331062)

Look at what is happening around! In politics and in the internal life of States. No compassion, complete disregard for the interests of the people! We are so proud of the liberal rule of the wise law - but were they power, everything is based on fear and coercion. Our laws are the apostles of violence, it is thanks to them the gates of the subconscious are crumbling, and out spills the savage ferocity and the thrill of violence for violence. The man is a beast, albeit a very slim organization. The main thing in it - the instinct of self-preservation. Too rapid intellectual development is no less dangerous than the gap. He must survive! Perhaps that is why a person needs to store primitive brutality, but in any case not to marvel at it.
