Where Did We Go Wrong?

Shuye and sunburst,

Both well said. I don't really have anything else to add to your comments. Thank you for your replies.

I'm not ignorant to how the world works and how human beings think. But the purpose of this thread was just to highlight the fact that I can't help but feel like we can be better. I understand human beings have most likely always been corrupt, and most likely always will be corrupt, but does that mean we can't possibly live with one another peacefully? I don't think so. Perhaps that's just a naive, romantic optimism about our abilities, but that's how I see it.
