But then what.

I was watching a show the other day and people were saying that valid life goals were, amongst other things, to be good to other people, to treat other people well, to make a difference in people's lives, get rid of poverty, give children opportunity etc.

No doubt these are all good causes and something we should all aspire to in one form or another.

But then what.

Are these things really the ultimate aim or a distraction along the way to something much more important?

What happens when everyone is happy? What happens when no-one is poor?

And, isn't it the ultimate irony that, because un-poor and happy and so many other "universal goals" are comparative terms, that the instant we succeed and everyone becomes them, then we fail because no-one is them anymore?

Hmmmm...

You can't learn from history if you don't KNOW of history. If you can't see your values in other peoples' values, then I think you will never leave the theme park.
