The world we have

It would be lovely I suppose to live in a world where good will and rationality prevailed and the leaders all recognized that money and power in the hands of foolish people are like dangerous addictive drugs but at bottom are simply tools that can be used for good or ill, so they all sat down and decided to throw out manipulative lies and regressive tribalism and instead work together, devoting their energies to taking care of the earth and all of its peoples. But we have to deal with the world we have if we hope to move toward the one we'd like to have. ❤
