Maybe I am just getting old, but it seems that Christmas, over the years, has become less a holiday of goodwill, sharing, and caring as opposed to a season of commercial opportunism. Wouldn't it be nice if, even only once a year, that we could all display an attitude of universal goodwill toward people of every ethnic and religious background? It just seems a shame that economics, greed, and politics undermine universal human goodwill. While we claim to be the most intelligent creatures on this earth, looking at the world, in its current state, it seems that we are only intelligent enough to destroy our environment while we constantly fight to acquire dwindling natural resources as opposed to applying our intellect to solving the problems of the world. After all, isn't that what a truly intelligent species would do?
