I believe that the problem lies in the "caveman" within us all who only cares about his self interests and his own survival.

We are a social species, yes. But do we really want to help others? History has shown us that helping others is not a primary focus or goal of the majority of people. Will we help another who is in dire need? Probably. Will we help another who we are slightly better off than? Probably Not.

Until we can move away from our current consumerism society, where everything has a value and we are putting a value on everything, we will not be able to reach a utopian society. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't try though!

Great post, thanks for sharing :)
