I am starting to think it's just a fundamental part of humanity's ego that people cannot accept the idea that they might be wrong or the cause of a problem and we simply cannot detach from that or rise above it.

Yes. Objectively, there must be fundamental causes for this beyond reproach effect of ego, but I do agree with you, yes. As one person put it, "We all think we're the good guy." I think in 95% of cases that's true, and the other 5% percent seem to think they're the bad guy regardless.
Life must be a spiritual
inner journey of growth as much as it is anything else I believe, and I hope it's not too late for the planet, to be honest.
