...an early missionary in New Zealand heard a Maori warrior taunting the preserved head of an enemy chief in the following fashion:
You wanted to run away, did you? but my meri (war club] overtook you: and after you were cooked, you made food for my mouth. And where is your father? he is cooked: and where is your brother? he is eaten:-and where is your wife? there she sits, a wife for me:-and where are your children? there they are, with loads on their backs, carrying food, as my slaves.' In Maori warfare, decapitation marked the beginning, not the end, of a vanquished warrior's humiliation.
Our common humanity, viewed realistically, can be as much a source of despair as hope.
