Can't Quit Asking

Forget centuries of religious intellectuals and spiritual gurus, consider scientific discoveries and technological innovation, why are we sitll at the point of history where violence is currency and poverty is a majority experience?

What have we accomplished?
Have we discovered God?
Have kind people discovered a way to trust each other to work together?
Why do certain organized religions continue to persecute people?
And why do scientific strides continue to benefit the rich over the poor? 
Is there an organization working towards making sure these things don't happen? 
How can organizing well-intentioned people lead to the suffering of others?

Is there a way people can take their needs for granted so that they can work for good?
Don't well-funded non-profit organizations try to accomplish this?
Don't well-funded religious oranizations also try to do this?
Do these organizations make the objective of managing intellectual competition and encouraging collaboration?

Is it too much to ask?
Is the urgency not clear?
Are there other priorities that need to be considered over erradicating poverty?
Are we simply distracted?
Are we self-indulgent pricks carrying on with our "way of life" because we deserve it?

Are we cowards?
Have we deluded ourselves into thinking that guns can silence people much too many than those who wish to destroy us?
Is the human race still hung up on empire that we continue to live and think like slaves enabling the powerful by enjoying their treats?
Are we afraid that the very people we seek to save won't care for us after all is done?
Can't we have a covenant with the poor to guarantee social equality?

I wanted to write some answers, but there were many questions, instead I found much ambition in the way.
