Making the World a Better Place — Is that Folly?

What a strange thing for someone to say, given that there are millions of people all around the globe who are clearly making the world a better place — every single day of their lives.

Think of all the organizations and individuals who do things like feed hungry children, protect our environment, and provide medical services to those in war-torn regions of the world.

Of course, this wasn’t the case in Moliere’s time, but today there are more than 200,000 groups whose mission is environmental and social justice.

We also need to consider that Moliere had a somewhat twisted viewpoint of life on Earth; this, in fact, was his “brand” — comedic and farcical plays.
