I'm a retired educator, businessman and amateur philosopher who has spent much of his spare time trying to figure out what is so wrong with our world. Why the dramatic separation between the rich and poor, haves and have-nots? Why the repeated wars? Why the poverty, hunger and starvation in so many places?
