Human beings are a mystery.

When boats started crashing on rocks, some humans built lighthouses and rescue stations to save those whose boats crashed.
They used their resources and risked their lives to save others.
Meanwhile, others used their resources to built bonfires, using them as false lights to draw ships onto rocks. Once the ships crashed, they would risk their lives to row out to the ships and pillage the cargo, leaving the passengers to perish.
How can you get such extremes of human behaviour? One group that risks everything to save lives, the other that wastes lives to get everything?
It obviously comes from two different value sets. One that values all people as made in God’s image and worth more than gold, and the other that see things the other way around.
Which group do you belong to?
