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.

Humility and temperance are called heavenly virtues for a reason.
