I saved the lives of two worms the other day by moving them from a dry path to the verge.
Why? I asked myself.
Because to a higher being looking down on me, I may seem like a worm, & if she sees me being kind to worm, perhaps she'll be kind to me.

I knew when I wrote the above tweet that I was half-jokingly rationalising my motive for saving the worms.
My actual, spontaneous, motive, I'm pretty sure, was compassion. But showing compassion for a worm is embarrassing, like crying at a scene in a sentimental film.

Most humans are capable of compassion, which is one of our more likeable traits. I say "capable", because we have to be very selective about showing or indulging it. Otherwise I'd have to spend my whole day saving worms, or whatever.
I would not want to be ruled by racial supremacists, but neither do I want to be ruled by moral supremacists, as we currently are, & always have been.
Today's moral supremacists are imposing a secular ideology on western societies which goes to the opposite extremes of Nazism.

The Nazis being the archetypal bad guys, by proclaiming one's opposition to everything they stood for, one positions oneself on the moral high ground. Anyone who opposes you or your views on certain issues is clearly a Nazi sympathiser, if not an actual Nazi themselves.
By far the most important socio- & power-political issue is that of RACE, & because the Nazis were racial purists & supremacists, the moral high ground now automatically belongs to those promoting White racial self-denial & self-contempt, along with racial mixing.
