    That woman reporter looks like she is trying to look like Barbara Walters. Still watching the video. The same ad came up twice - about retirement so I am not sure.

    I think it is not really morality but an attraction to gravitate towards people that are helpful. So they can learn?

    Punishing the others is I agree part of the root of suffering/evil.

    Quite interesting. I've heard of theories that some children are "programmed" to be liars, thieves and racists. That they have the innate abilities to know and learn such things without adult influence.
