I agree with you, though perhaps not in degree. There must be billions of examples of people who possess a human spirit in the way grandma has described it. Individually, we can be astoundingly impressive. But collectively we are a plague with the occasional island of benignity. Substantially lifting our game, not just as individuals but as a whole, seems to be beyond our abilities.
