   Hello God grace, our old (yea, only) fri

   The mess called "the world" is the mess of an ego   
   multiplied by the number of egos.   
      
   There's no such thing as an ego doing "right", as all   
   it can do is whatever best maintains itself, which is   
   the mathematical inverse of the kind of character of   
   constituents that, together, could possibly constitute a   
   working, lasting society.   
      
   Therefore, the only possible solution is absence of ego,   
   which of course no ego will ever sign up for.   
      
   Very interesting pickle.   
      
   That's why it is said to happen only "by grace through   
   faith", because an ego making it happen is merely more   
   expression of the problem.
