Outgrowing people doesn’t make you cold. It means your standards finally caught up to your awareness.
Our system of checks and balances had a fatal flaw: it assumed a baseline level of intrgrity and ethics from elected officials who respected the system of government we built.
When the entire system is instead infested with criminals whose sole purpose was to exploit the system itself for their own greed and avarice, they just say “nah” and court orders become mere suggestions.
I really hope I’m alive to see the systemic changes that we need, but I fear it won’t happen in my lifetime.
