"The moral, I mean. Nobody listens. Nobody hears nothin'. Like that fatass colonel. The politicians, all the civilian types. Your girlfriend . My girlfriend. Everybody's sweet little virgin girlfriend. What they need is to go out on LP. The vapors, man. Trees and rocks- you got to listen to your enemy." pg.73People need to listen. They just can't choice what they want to hear. People can't be selfish in life. It is no fun to have a friend that only talks about himself all the time.

I agree that people are selfish by ignoring the truth just so they can feel comfortable about it. It is only a small sacrifice of accepting the ugliness of the truth for empathizing with another person. This can be hard to do, but it's nothing compared to what the person who actually went through the experience has to cope with.
