   An old thing I heard.

   If you have a pot of lobsters, all of them males, you'll see them stack and climb, a few will get out.

   Same pot of lobsters but all female, they'll hold each other down unwilling to see anyone else succeed.

   No idea how true it is, and the sex of a thing is beyond the point I saw in this anecdote.

   When one sees a person in a moment of need, suffering, they show themselves in how they place that sufferer in the sense of “them versus us.”

   Are they beneath or beside?
