What has happened to the Communist sympathizer of the early 1970's? He used to be able to say that he would go to jail for peace. He fought for the rights of his fellow man. He set up a group of people to support human rights. That group flourished for about six years, under two different names. He took criticism from other people, who called him every derogatory name in the book. He was investigated by his government for wrong doings. He tried to get into intelligence work, but they thought he had a too subversive past to be in government work. He was shunned by his peers for being too radical. He was called by some fundamental Christians as being atheistic. He was called by other people as a do-gooder. He didn't understand why they treated him badly, when he was trying to do good.
Now, he's concerned with himself. His heart is cold. He doesn't care very much for others. Murders and other violent acts do not affect his sense of values. His idea of human rights is what is right for him. All forms of idealism has gone to schizophrenic realism. He doesn't feel, see, or hear. He only exists. He could care, but life has made him apathetic. And so it goes...
