We are in the religious season for a number of believers.Ramadan, Easter, Buddhism, Hinduism etc.However we seem determined to maximize our differences and our reasons to destroy one another rather than finding a basis to coexist.Strongmen are everywhere and promising to get more for supporters by elimination of others.
The USA as a unique constitutional democracy is finding out the weaknesses of 18th and 19th century thinking that relegated women to kitchen service and child bearing, unless particular Royal lineage afforded unique privilege Discovery that Citizens United,loss of Roe Wade, The reemergence of State Rights to doctors clinical judgement and individual decisions based on that threatens the lives of patients and the medical system itself

Wisdom?
History says the best and brightest have often destroyed each other. So, what’s the benefit of being among the best and brightest? Statistically, high intelligence increases the chance of being “successful” – But this does not guarantee that goals successfully achieved will have wise consequences.
Conflicting visions motivate actions that conflict.
Apparently, even brilliant minds can be indoctrinated to favor “what feels good” thereby displacing “what works best”. “To feel good” can motivate a willingness to sacrifice self and other’s lives for a variety of “sacred” causes.
“Doing good” (for humanity) focuses the mind on objective evidence – that which measurably leads to an improvement of human life.
Feeling “worthy” can be multifaceted. To feel that one’s life has meaning is among the most powerful of human needs. The causes of social conflict are as complex as are the subjective variables by which we measure self-worth.
So, should one’s primary goal be to feel good or to do good? “Feelings” are subjective. “Doing good” is objective. “Subjective” depends less on empirical evidence. “Objective” is what evidence dictates is most probable.
Important questions: To “do-good” requires an ability to accurately measure probabilities. What percentage of humanity lacks this ability? What percentage of those with this ability have been derailed – intoxicated by feel-good beliefs? Could it be true that most “cannot handle the truth”?
Of course, no one avoids feelings, but wisdom recommends that feelings be introduced to, then married to, “measurably doing good”.
Amen!
