In a perfect world

You know, in a perfect world things would be so different.  Everyone would live in decent houses, and have good education.  We would all have enough money to make it every month.  There wouldn’t be wars and disputes about who worships what God, and why each person’s views are better then another.  People would respect each other.  Love would abound and people would share.  It’s funny how some of the most basic things though are not possible.  The values we are taught (well most of us anyways) when we are under the age of ten of sharing, respect, and the ability to get along all go out the window once you’re an adult.  Why is this the case?  Why can the idea of respect, kindness, courtesy, honesty, sharing, and simply the idea that we can sometimes agree to disagree not work for adults?  What is the point of the phrase “act like an adult”?  I know more children that behave better, or at least have a lot more hope of becoming better people then those who are already set in their ways.  I am amazed everyday how little goodness I see in people, and the people that have it have it in spades.  There seems to be little distribution of these basic ideas.  Maybe I am just disappointed in humanity, but I am.  They see not what they do.
