“I do not believe that a world without evil, preferable in order to ours, is possible; otherwise it would have been preferred. It is necessary to believe that the mixture of evil has produced the greatest possible good: otherwise the evil would not have been permitted. The combination of all the tendencies to the good has produced the best; but as there are goods that are incompatible together, this combination and this result can introduce the destruction of some good, and as a result some evil.” WorldBelieveHas BeensTogetherOrderEvilResultsDestructionTendenciesCombinationGoodsIntroducingMixtures Author:Gottfried Leibniz
“Can we actually suppose that we are wasting, polluting, and making ugly this beautiful land for the sake of patriotism and the love of God? Perhaps some of us would like to think so, but in fact this destruction is taking place because we have allowed ourselves to believe, and to live, a mated pair of economic lies: that nothing has a value that is not assigned to it by the market; and that the economic life of our communities can safely be handed over to the great corporations.” ThinkingBelieveFactsBeautifulLyingValuesCommunityEconomicLandDestructionSakeConservativeUglyGod LoveCorporationsPairsOur CommunityBeautiful Land Book:The Way of Ignorance: And Other Essays Source: The Way of Ignorance: And Other Essays

I have no great expectation that human cussedness will somehow be quickly modified and turned into generosity or that humanity's care of the earth will improve much.
