"... Darwinism - the survival of the fittest. It still applies, he said, even in our society, but it is mitigated because we alleviate its consequences.
After he said that, there was a pause. It was a rich moment.
He had not looked at anyone in particular. He never addressed himself, as it were, to individuals. Still, maybe I was the one, at that moment, who understood him best.
Those who were on the inside, the majority, that is, found it hard to get his point, mostly they were just pleased that they were on the inside, that they were the fittest.
For those on the outside, the fear and the abandonment amount to almost everything, everybody knows that.
Understanding is something one does best when one is on the borderline. "
