I know what you mean, but revolutions such as what happened in France and Russia simply didn't go well. There are too many scores to be settled. When Nelson Mandela became president, he instituted a truth and justice investigation, but didn't actually prosecute the white rulers for their actions. Something similar happened in Czechoslovavia when communism fell. Compare that with what hapened in Iraq, the US forces toppled Saddam Hussein and banned members of his party from all public posts. The country simply collapsed.Being a hero is a lot to ask from huge swaths of human beings who are given precious little to go on a hero's journey with. Have you been asked to be a hero? Do you constantly have to live up to hero status? That's exhausting!
What kind of Reality puts huge swaths of individuals into positions where they must overcome immense odds just to eke out a livable existence while numerous power elite get to keep that game going so that the cruelty continues unabated?
If we look at reincarnation, at least the evidence we have for it, it doesn't seem like we have answers to that. What wrongs did some inner city or rural poor children do to deserve their position in life? What great virtues did Donald Trump do in a past life in order to get all his fame and fortune in this life?
'Fairness' has to take second place to feasibility, continuity, etc. otherwise the cure is far worse than the disease. An ill thought out major change in the US could be disastrous.
