And inspired. True to the image we have of ourselves.

The human race, large groups of people (of any political or religious types), many individual humans, very much less so.
Why? Because it to often becomes about agendas, objectives, ideals and compromise. It becomes less about the human and more about the race. Not race, the tone of your skin, race as in 'to win'. To be right. To be richer. To be better. It truly is our greatest fault.

It's easy to talk about the virtues of compromise when you are not the one being compromised.
