History is replete with tales of hubris.
The Tower of Babel--God punishes humankind for trying to reach him.
Icarus--The Greek myth teaches not to be too arrogant or greedy.
The Gulag Archipelago: Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn teaches us how a large, benevolent ideology can create the ultimate evil of human history.
Do not try to fix the world according to your ideology. Fix yourself. That's hard enough. And if we all fix ourselves, the world will be improved.
