Standpoint reversal

"Once, we were kids who believed enough in out immortality that we'd hitch rides with strangers. Now, instead, we flaunt the same irrationality by cheating on our low-fat diets. Once, we had not yet learned that life brings tragedies beyond control. Now, we wonder how we can spare our own children from that knowledge."
- Robert M. Sapolsky in Monkeyluv
