Now you’re getting it. The world can’t be fixed. It can’t even be survived. But it can be a nice place to live.
The worst people in the world, the Stalins and the Osama bin Ladens, try to be heroes but they’re as flawed as anyone else. If they start to succeed those flaws can manifest in horrifying ways. They often destroy imperfect but necessary things in attempts to build perfect things that can’t exist, like true Communism or functional political Islam. Humility and temperance are called heavenly virtues for a reason.
If it’s God’s job, then it’s definitely not going to get done, because something that doesn’t exist can’t do anything.
