ABSTRACT

In normal development love modifies cruelty; in order to perpetuate cruelty, steps have to be taken to prevent human love from operating. My contention is that in order to maintain the practice of cruelty, a singular narrowmindedness of purpose is put into operation.This has the function of squeezing out humanity and preventing human understanding from modifying the cruelty.The consequence of this process produces a cruelty which is ‘inhuman’.
