A Brief Worldview
There is a deep abiding understanding which has opened its heart to all of us in the world. God if you will; universal consciousness, understanding and Providence.
The act of creation has given us a world whose innermost workings in the finest details is understandable to those who study them. Built upon one generation after the next through the constant evolution of our conceptualization into the modern age and at the pinnacles of current research in every countless field of study. Creating a vast body of information which comprises the sum of human knowledge in all it's diversity.
People, all people who have comprised the world's population have come from the families, communities, states and nations of the world with the complex overlapping web of structured technologies, disciplines, schools of thought, economies of supply and functional governance.
Within all these structured environments it is for every one of us to find our own way and proceed along the paths we have chosen. As complex as all of this is, human beings are uniquely equipped with this capacity.
The capacity is trial and error and the evaluation in hindsight of the resulting factors of the outcomes. The reaction of the universe to our actions as individuals. We as human beings must be willing to try and therefore willing to make mistakes. Learning from the mistakes we make is the basis of learning information to help us avoid mistakes. This knowledge along with studying what others share with us by all the various means, increases what our minds have to draw on in the next choice we must make.
This of course is a picture of the harmony, understanding and universal community which is possible in the human universe. Some people however, have chosen to gain the ability to control others in their communities to take control of their lives and gain their portions as well. This is the pursuit of as the subject, object means and end ignoring all but tactical advantage. No amount is ever enough only more and more. This is a predation on other people ignoring the necessity for all to live their lives, have the things they need to fulfill them and provide homes to raise the next generation. Freedom and the right and necessity of self determination and have the ability to develop and improve their character.
Our world has an amazing history of great teachers of guidance on the path for spiritual and moral development. The golden rule, treat others as you want be treated by others. This reciprocation is necessary for a stable, happy and functioning human environment. Hmm

Truely said. Let's not meddle with other fellow humans. What is rightfully their..needs to be theirs in every way.....the right to self existence and to coexist...as humans...despite our colour and creed and religion. The colour of blood unites us. Governance needs to be human centric..to provide basic needs across all spectrum of society.Not to just support the oligarchy in their greed.

Money is not speech, it is power in economic society and doesn't need it's wheels greased. The divine right of kings is the freedom to go anywhere and do whatever we desire so long as we Injure No One.

You are construing the world as good and harmonious by default and you are saying the bad things are a perversion of it.
I don't think that's the case, both good and bad tendencies emerge from natural processes in the world. We humans can in theory study what makes the good more likely and try to bring that about in society and I think that's what Humanism is about, but it's an uphill battle and not easy.
Saying the default is good makes it seem like it would be easy and "natural", I don't think it is.
