I read Lodewijk's comment as a generalised statement on the current
predominant nature of 'Western' (perhaps all) people. As in "how
things are" not "how I am and how I want the world to be".
Character attack is sometimes not be in the interests of constructive dialogue.
Inspiration for a 'better' world is a good thing. Resignation over the
current world is a common thing. Finding a point of compassion in our
conversations with each other is something I have failed at too many
times.
