People shoot each other because one does not believe the same as the other. They claim that there is not enough to go around. Governments hoard resources and say we must conserve. People are dying and little is done to stop the carnage. Those who would be our betters are really no better off. They are forced to hide behind walls and gates and thus are held with in prisons themselves. Our science abounds with miracles and yet no one cares. We teach our children ideals that make them impotent and unable to think for themselves. Where has philosophy gone to and when do we all stop and think? At what point has logic been taken over by emotion? It is as if a disease runs rampant through our societies and no one wants to be cured by simple reason and conversation.
