Over the last few months, I realized that there were things, even the silliest things, about society that I liked. This seems to have re-enforced the belief I have in humanity as a whole. Sure, a majority will always be corrupt to an extent and easily swayed, but there are others out there trying more than I could ever try. The ‘doers’ of this world aren’t all bad. Some have ideals close to mine, but in reality they are not free to change everything at once.

The truth about the human condition is that unless you can take into account every single factor that makes us, you couldn’t get to a perfected solution. Reason or logic is what readily sets us apart from all other creatures in the world, but it represents only aspect of human nature.
Conveniently focusing on only a few aspects of human nature, such as throwing logic as the core vector in an attempt to get to a perfected society - as though logic itself had the power to make everything right- is doomed to be narrow-minded and flawed.

Logic is what we make of it, which is why most people who do possess a high degree of logic, will willingly throw it away or use it to further their corruption.
