Decency

 Life is failing and achieving. If you think of yourself as someone who travels this path aiming to be a decent human being, you wonder how the world got so fucked up. What did you contribute to this? What did you do to unfuck it? How can a small number of dictators, power hungry thugs and greedy bastards take life and liberty from so many? How can the voices of the compassionate, the moral, the loving be drowned out so effectively by the deceivers, the influencers, the moneyed and the little men with armies in their pockets?

Most of us are not saints or martyrs, but our cumulative decency does count for something. But so far, just not enough.
