The lack of organization is abused and creates conditions for
wars, terrorism, rape, unemployment, crime, destruction of
historic cities and various other depravities. We are used to the
fact that a small number of people owns almost the entire capital
on the planet and we consider it normal and natural. A person
believes his/her own religion and disqualifies other religions. The
people in future will have to learn to coexist and respect other
people and communities.
Morality, as a system of values for the members of a society, has
been disregarded for various reasons, subjective and objective.
Everybody in the world knows what is good or bad, but there are
reasons why a person is driven to do evil.
A hungry wolf attacks. Can a person born in underprivileged
circumstances, with little or no chances to become well-off, be
moral? Moral feelings and their choice depend on the social
relationships in a given period of time. The choice of good or evil
does not depend on the moral feelings but on the social
relationships. There are exceptions, virtuous people who live
ethical lives in spite of their poverty, but they are few.
In the whole, the situation will be reversed. When feelings follow
a common interest, there is respect and trust.
