"Is it not funny Master, to see how a child kicks a door that will not open or has hurt it?"
"Look at it carefully and see that when the dogs comes near, it kicks it as well, or even humans. It is the Ontogenetic side of the phenomenon. Doubtless, a Neanderthal man (Phylogenesis) would do the same. Xerxes punished the sea by whipping and branding it, Cyrus punished the Gyndes river (Herodotus), and even Plato had his 'Laws' to punish animals and objects. These were grown-up men! It is why the Third Law of Fundamental Ethics is so important AND recent, to be understood only by sane and wellbalanced Minds. 'Circumstances or other people (who are circumstances for you too), CANNOT alter your R & D's'. A door or a car has no R & D's, yet, it is stark stupidity to set fire to them when they fail to work. We should learn and teach that it is just as stupid and unjust to punish mr.C, when mr.B has offended us. Stupidity, when with regard to others ALWAYS violates R & D's."
