The attempt to make this life “heaven on earth” has caused and will cause more misery than any single other idea or philosophy. A subset of this is the fact that there is alwasy one or more segments of people who will not want to go along with the “let’s make earth better and maybe even perfect” so of course those who don’t want to go along with the plan have to be subjegated, re-educated or killed. Just to make everyone happy, of course.

You really nailed it.

And we can see the reaction of those who want to make the world a better place and get frustrated in that attempt. They end up not making the earth the place they claim they want to.

There is a very simple method for making the earth a better place to live.

Following the rules God has already given us. Even most people just trying to follow those rules would make this earth almost unrecognizable.

Imagine if people even tried to follow, and recognized the value in, following those rules. In fact, this reminds me of an article I’ve wanted to write for a long time. Topic? The universality of moral absolutes, of course! Going into detail.

So, the directions for improving the world are already there. No need to involve human ingenuity to invent a new system. Human ingenuity can be used for good or ill. New “isms” are never a good way...
