How come for social animals, we can only recognise social evils when it hits us but never when it hurts others?

3.5

I found myself having a difficult time with the father son relationship. Both Flawed and traumatized people for obvious reasons. Found myself wishing that the focus was more heavily focused on the fathers retelling of events rather than the fallout from a damaged person raising a child. I supposed illuminating the generational effects of trauma is important, but had a hard time resonating with or feeling much empathy for the son.

Maus is a beautiful graphic biography of Art Speigelman's father's experience during the holocaust as a survivor. This book is just stunning and every single person on this Earth has to read this book. I personally believe it should be made essential reading due to how important these topics are. The book is also not trying to glorify his father, even though he was a survivor, he is still flawed. Most history textbooks will only share an experience by the mass, but this is a personal experience that has such significant impact.
