Emotion: Man's Greatest Fault
I believe that man's greatest fault is emotion.
Factor emotion out of any decision and weigh the pro's and con's based simply on logic and reason and you have an answer that is suits not only the interests of a society, but also one's self interest. Since no man is an island, his self interest is to cooperate harmoniously with society and therefore what is best for him is also best for society. As soon as we factor emotion into any equation, it becomes biased and unbalanced.
In order to further the human race as a whole, we need to stop thinking about people's emotions and more about what is best for the common good of man (or woman)
