I Am an Evil White Man

[ProfessorGAC]

56. I Am Only 2 Of Those 3

Evil, I'm not.
We are all prisoners of our time. 120 years ago, I'd have no car. My carbon footprint would be reduced.
I haven't had a car that didn't average 30mpg since 1980, excepting a 3rd car used a few winter months a year.
One can be enlightened, for one's time, without measuring to the standards of what we've all learned in the passing years.
40 years ago, there were 10 or 20 people on earth who were speculating on climate change. We couldn't take enlightened action toward a phenomenon we didn't know about. As I stated above, I worried about mileage because of concerns over finite supply & the pollution we KNEW about.
Ignorance of what we would learn in future decades is not evil. To suggest otherwise makes for an impossible goal. A goal that can't be achieved is not a goal. It's a fantasy.
Being open minded, but not engaging in ideal behaviors in each moment, is not an evil. It's just life.
