it is in our nature to be good. this is why when people treat people badly, that we don't like it. It makes us sick. how can you put refugees on an island and imprison them for many years just for wanting a decent life like we have? How can you make sense of that? it is not in our nature to always be afraid, although this is what our governments would prefer, to manage us more easily. We do need to work out how easily managed we wish to be. if we elect people, it is their job to do hard things to make sure everyone is okay. that is their job. If they don't have the capacity or the desire to do good, then we are well rid of them. if we are to survive as a society, we must do good. If we dont do good, we are not ourselves, and this is not our proud nation or our society at all.
