The devolution of common ground amongst the “communities” of nations …..
Our hatreds are, as always, much stronger than our ideals. Our ideals, if not totalitarian, speak to a rising march of civilization ever more towards a more “civilized” set of thinking and acting. The ideals of respect for life, liberty and the pursuits of happiness seemed, once, to be the way of the world.
Such is the presumption of the “evolved” man or woman. Greater degrees of education. more access to exchanges of ideas, more awareness of the self interests of rationality and power balance as ways to avoid slaughter; more openness to critical thought would serve as a ballast, an anchor.
Our hatreds are, as always, much stronger than our ideals. In “advanced” developed societies hatred is a fine de facto force of passion and power seeking. In”troubled” societies with order a dream and chaos a whirlwind hatred is a fine charger. It works well and demands no effort.
The devolution of common ground amongst the “communities” of nations holds that no stabilizing force of any stripe has ideals worth honoring. Hatred, always at home, loves all vacuums.
