A most dangerous illusion is the myth of neutrality: “I’m not trying to help anyone but I’m not trying to hurt anyone either.” If we’re not trying to make the world a better place then we’re contributing to make it worse.

A couple other dangerous illusions: You can make the world better by hurting some to help others You can help people by not doing anything yourself
People mistake neutrality for power they possess

Government is typically ineffective if not counterproductive in making anything better. Didn't you love how the State of California was scammed 10 billion $ in its effort to make things better during the pandemic?

Yes ... absolutely ... things are either getting better ... or ... they are getting worse ... nothing ever stays the same!

As @DrPhil puts it... You’re either contributing or contaminating
