Sorry if that sounded a bit cheesy. You are totally right about the impersonal nature of interactions, and especially about the value of sharing food with one another. It would have to be a very extreme situation for me to take a life. That kind of leads me to ask - generally - does anyone ever really "win" an argument? Communication is hard enough when people share a native language and are on the same wavelength; when conflict is involved it just gets more difficult.
Anyway, enough rambling from me. Stay safe and keep writing!

Underlying the human violence was a common Christian sense. It could help but shine through. We are losing that commonality.

Brings to mind the 1992 movie, A Midnight Clear.

Fair point. They shared broad cultural mores as well. It was a special set of circumstances that allowed it.
