The old "why bother, everyone’s doing it" excuse, put forward by those who want excuse their own corruption (and I don’t mean you when I say this, I mean as a general "get out of jail" card).
As a race, we aspire to improve (abolishing slavery, trying for equal rights, the NHS, etc.), but there are always those who say "nah, why bother, it will just be abused/misused".
JFK said it best - "Some men see things as they are and ask 'Why?
' I dream things that never were and ask, 'Why not? '”
Robert Browning - "Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for?"
If we can’t try to be better, what’s the point?
