How society evolves

The following is the "Word for the Day" on Gratefulness.org :

Society evolves not by shouting each other down, but by the unique capacity of unique, individual human beings to comprehend each other.

-- Lewis Thomas, The Medusa and the Snail

I read The Medusa and the Snail many years ago and was profoundly moved by it. May I highly recommend it!
