A good man for ten wise men
Bored to tears? Write some stuff about it »
I'll happily trade you ten wise men for a good man. The world doesn't lack brains. Mental brilliance is all over the place, in unprecedented supply. The world lacks plain old goodness. Good old fashion good nature.
Wise men got us where we are now, and we're not in the nicest of places. With war raging on and people dying like flies: of the least likely reasons, such as starvation. Wise-men cannot cure cancer. They can't cure hunger. Their brand of comfort is the comfort of the big, bright, and cold billboard. They should be able to, but they can't. Because most of them are not good men. Sure, they think they are, but that's utterly irrelevant.
So, for the world I'm building, I'll trade you ten wise men for one good man, any day. I'll make my good man wise, that's not an issue, good luck with your ten tricksters.

Thank you so much. Good men am informed are already dead. However you can try and be one. Goodluck!
Trickery passes for wisdom nowadays. I shoud have quoted "wise" through the entire article.
