The failure of our leaders

The technological achievements of humanity are impressive. Our failures to make a serious effort at peace or to create cultures of authentic cooperation and compassion are equally impressive. Our communities are held together more by fear, greed, and shame than by love. Despite the entreaties and admonitions of millennia of spiritual teachers, people with temporal power play the game the same old way, assuming there's no other way to play it. Are they right?
