For a very long time I’ve thought about the significance of the fact that in the Bible, foundation stone of our civilization, at least, the first thing that happens is Creation, including the creation of men and women.
And the very second thing that happens is — a murder. Out of envy, resentment, and spite.
So where do we find our hope? Wherever we can, I guess. Doing good and honest work? Trying to be as generous as we can be? Trying to refrain from doing the malice we’re capable of? We can’t do anything about the macro, but we can do as well as we can with the micro. That’s may be as good as it gets.
