It seems to me there is a goal in life--actually, there are tons of them, thousands, depending upon whom you ask. Doesn't it seem like Goodness is some goal for which we might want to work toward? Generosity? Honesty? Loyalty? Wealth? Love? Health? Independence? Intellect? Faith? I wonder how people's value systems get set up...If they're spontaneous or nurtured, inherent or learned. What is there to do about a world in which value systems vary so much from one continent to another, one generation to another, one culture to another, one house to another. How can there be so many people in the world and so many options and, yet, so much conflict? It seems like there ought to be a different approach. Has there really been an effort to stop fighting, stop being right, stop killing, or is it just a facade? Are we all really in that much 'danger'? When is enough really enough?
