1. "evil will overcome good. Aggression will overcome moderation"

It hasn't always been this way, but every history book is full of the tyrants, murderers, oppressors, conquerors. There just isn't much type devoted to the societies that survived for a long time with philosophies of kindness, fairness, and equity.

Yet, we have leaders that keep giving us platitudes like "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice". I get that it is a long struggle, and without some hope and optimism, all is lost from the very outset. But the simple truth is that evil always has the easier time of it. Forces of fairness, kindness, and justice must work 10 times harder.
