More From Finley Peter Dunne

If the spirit of their intercourse were still the same after their coming together as it had been when they were living apart,' aristotle writes, their association can't really be considered a polis, or political community. 'a polis is not an association for residence on a common site, or for the sake of preventing mutual injustice and easing exchange.' while these conditions are necessary to a polis, they are not sufficient. 'the end and purpose of a polis is the good life, and the institutions of social life are means to that end.

Some people think that evolutionary psychology claims to have discovered that human nature is selfish and wicked. but they are flattering the researchers and anyone who would claim to have discovered the opposite. no one needs a scientist to measure whether humans are prone to knavery. the question has been answered in the history books, the newspapers, the ethnographic record, and the letters to ann landers. but people treat it like an open question, as if someday science might discover that it's all a bad dream and we will wake up to find that it is human nature to love one another.
Dream Selfish Book
These short stories are vast structures existing mostly in the subconscious of our cultural history. they will live with the reader long after the words have been translated into ideas and dreams. that's because a good short story crosses the borders of our nations and our prejudices and our beliefs. a good short story asks a question that can't be answered in simple terms. and even if we come up with some understanding, years later, while glancing out of a window, the story still has the potential to return, to alter right there in our mind and change everything.
