{"product_id":"2940013761308","title":"The Holocaust of Manor Place","description":"In the study of criminal psychology one is forced to the conclusion that\u003cbr\u003ethe most dangerous of all types of mind is that of the inordinately\u003cbr\u003eselfish man. He is a man who has lost his sense of proportion. His own\u003cbr\u003ewill and his own interest have blotted out for him the duty which he owes\u003cbr\u003eto the community. Impulsiveness, jealousy, vindictiveness are the\u003cbr\u003efruitful parents of crime, but the insanity of selfishness is the most\u003cbr\u003edangerous and also the most unlovely of them all. Sir Willoughby\u003cbr\u003ePatterne, the eternal type of all egoists, may be an amusing and harmless\u003cbr\u003echaracter as long as things go well with him, but let him be thwarted,\u003cbr\u003elet the thing which he desires be withheld from him, and the most\u003cbr\u003emonstrous results may follow. Huxley has said that a man in this life is\u003cbr\u003efor ever playing a game with an unseen opponent, who only makes his\u003cbr\u003epresence felt by exacting a penalty every time one makes a mistake in the\u003cbr\u003egame. The player who makes the mistake of selfishness may have a terrible\u003cbr\u003eforfeit to pay, but the unaccountable thing in the rules is that some,\u003cbr\u003ewho are only spectators of his game, may have to help him in the paying.\u003cbr\u003eRead the Story of William Godfrey Youngman, and see how difficult it is\u003cbr\u003eto understand the rules under which these penalties are exacted. Learn\u003cbr\u003ealso from it that selfishness is no harmless peccadillo, but that it is\u003cbr\u003ean evil root from which the most monstrous growths may spring.","brand":"WDS Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145779101936,"sku":"2940013761308","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013761308_p0.jpg?v=1763589905","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013761308","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
