It isn't that we shouldn't have ideals. We couldn't live without them. It is to understand they are ideals, even ones we might share with every human on earth. A healthy society needs those communal ideals in order to exist, not just function.

There can be no distinctions to the universal, no good and bad, up or down, young or old, conservative or liberal. Without the ups and downs, it's a flatline. That's why the only specific absolute is a temperature of absolute zero. At absolute zero, there can be no time either.

That someone like me, who avoided any and all formal education with a passion, because I realized early on, that it was more about indoctrination than insight and enlightenment, should be the one to have to point it out, just goes to show that while people can be quite clever, they tend not to be as bright as they usually think they are.
Sometimes the simple is more sublime than the complex. Sometimes the complex is patches and patches over errors.
