Any which way round, the fundamental cause of all of our problems is our inherent selfishness and hardness of heart and this has manifested in a tragic way. Irrespective of any outcome, this only affects our situation, but the misery will continue unless we start to really care about each other, individually, and collectively.
I know it freaks people out when God is mentioned, but the two simple commands of 1. Love God (for the life we have been blessed with and all the blessings that we do have) and 2. Love one another (treat everyone else as we would ourselves) become so salient and the failure of us to do this ourselves results in our own misery, and to do this collectively, ends in societal disaster.
