Do-gooders don't 'do good!'


I have some sympathy for 'do-gooders'. Most of the time they are kind, generous, socially-minded members of society. For some reason, tragically, they have developed a belief that the rest of the world is as responsible as they are, or could be if educated. Sadly, they are seriously mistaken.
They are incapable of recognising that a large percentage of fellow human beings are: mean-spirited, nasty, parasitical, criminal and utterly self-centred - and at every level of society.
By failing to recognise this and by pressing society to embrace their views, they have proved socially dangerous and extremely damaging.
We need a traditional Christian view instead which recognises man as fundamentally sinful and flawed but who, with repentance can find his true worth.

Unfortunately, most people are happy to maintain their lifestyle choices and do not want to change - let's admit the truth.
