In addition‚ humans are also inherently evil because‚ although it was hard to survive during the time‚ instead of sticking together‚ the Jews turned against their own families. Although some say that

    Meeting at Night Robert Browning The grey sea and the long black land; And the yellow half-moon large and low; And the startled little waves that leap In fiery ringlets from their sleep‚ As I gain the cove with pushing prow‚ And quench its speed i’ the slushy sand. Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach; Three fields to cross till a farm appears; A tap at the pane‚ the quick sharp scratch And blue spurt of a lighted match‚ And a voice less loud‚ thro’ its joys and fears‚ Than the two hearts beating

The streets were empty‚ and all that reached out into the shadowy darkness were the street lamps‚ placed so methodically and evenly it made them seem more significant than they really were. Near one of these lamps‚ on a bench‚ was an ancient man‚ his hair grey‚ his face was warped with deep wrinkles‚ a pair of round rimmed spectacles perched on his nose. His dull eyes‚ seeming to be
