Like a motherless child

Like a motherless child, we have been deprived
of guidance, trying to learn how to survive by trial
and error. In our efforts to find a sustainable order
in life, we have tried living in clans, slavery, Greek
democracy, feudalism, capitalism, communism,
modern democracy, fascism, and even Nazism. We
have sought solace for our fears of the unknown in
religion, mysticism, philosophy, science, technology,
art, and, in fact, in every area of human engagement.
All of these ideologies and pursuits promised
us a happy life; none have kept that promise.
