Kung fu-tzu is like so many of the past religious and philosophical gurus who sought after a means of achieving happiness and like the contemporary efforts of the psychoanalyst or the sociologists who meticulously research, analyze, and predict the problems of human society we are no more closer to treating the social ills of our times than these primeval societies. We can invent new religions and develop new philosophies and manufacture new drugs as alternatives in attempting to resolve these problems but in the end it will only lead to deluding the masses by over medicated them on pharmaceuticals or deceiving them through the superstition of religion/philosophy with some new self help program or snake oil remedy as a means to find a miracle cure concerning the ailments of the human soul. Yet after all this striving and groping for solutions the world at large will still be left as largely uncivilized in much of its behavior.
