Peace and prosperity have been fragile things. They are so hard to maintain without hypocrisy. Since the first field of grain was planted, peace and prosperity have nearly always been bordered by grimacing strong arms and violent encounters.

I imagine a world where equity renders borders meaningless, but I wonder do we humans, so petty up to now, possess the goodwill, good faith, and willingness to sacrifice a bit of ourselves for others, to move us to that ideal.

I can imagine a good and humane world, but only if enough of us collectively choose to trust and share with others. I wonder if we have the desire or motivation to resist our baser tribal predilections. I wonder if we can reign in the hypocrisies we will apply to bring equity to the world. I wonder can a kinder fairer world be built on hypocrisy. I wonder can a kinder fairer world be built without hypocrisy.

We shall see.
