Human beans.

Editor,

You're just figuring this out? We are all just human beans.

Knowing this enables one to admire, respect, and enjoy the humanity in every person and not worship certain ones who do something or other particularly well. This is why ideas like "collateral damage" are so gallingly horrific: that someone high up thinks it's OK to snuff out the life of someone low down as if they are a bug. Money. Humanity. Power. Humanity. This culture has lost its way and will eat itself alive.
