Question: What is responsible for all the goodness and evil in our societies?
Answer: Our human cultures are responsible for all the love, peace, and progress in the world, regrettably also all the violence, killings, and corruption. They derived our way of thinking. They have cultured us to be equally good and evil. Cultivating goodness in us, they require also however that we corrupt our goodness for survival. Teaching us to love and be honest, they dictate also that we hate and lie for acceptability. Authoring our ways of peace, they demand also that we war for supremacy. Sponsoring our progress under the flag of unity, they promote also our racism under the flag of patriotism. Being slaves to their dictates, we have built our societies on much truth, but also much delusion. As an embryonic civilization, we were ignorant to the workings of our human cultures. Now however, we have gained the intelligence to derive the cultures of a utopia.

Let us define the planet Earth as being our immediate environment, and the Universe, our extended environment.
We are creatures living on Earth, which is one planet among many other planets that constitute our solar system. Our solar system is one among millions of other systems that constitute our galaxy, and our galaxy is one among billions of others comprising our universe. For time immemorial, we have observed to understand how our universe works. Some of us understand it works by the hand of a God or Gods, and some understand it works by a Big Bang. We all have our different understandings. Anywhere in the world you can find a human settlement, who have their own understanding of how the universe works, there, begins a new human culture.
