Oh, it's so very difficult.

It takes time. To do the right thing. That's the nature of life. We humans instinctively know what's the right thing. But still, we keep doing the wrong things. Rather than change. Just think about how long it took us to get rid of slavery. Generations. Didn't we know that slavery was cruel? And wrong? And indecent? Yet, we went ahead and founded our nation based on a slave economy. We know, too, that capitalism is inherently wrong. Just as wrong as slavery. But still, we persist. We keep doing the wrong thing. Rather than the right thing. Because it's practical. It benefits a few. The powerbrokers. The people who know how to manipulate for their individual benefit. Rather than for the common good. Basically, that's why we held on to slavery for such a long time. It benefited the pocketbooks of slave owners. Yes, those that would exploit an entire race. It was obviously immoral. But still, as a society, we lived with it. We rationalized that it was all right. When obviously we knew it wasn't. Throughout history, we have fashioned societies that institutionalize wrong. Are we so stupid that we don't know it? Oh, we know it. We just don't have the gumption and moral fortitude to do the right thing. --Jim Broede
