This world is not ours

I see the short answer in there, written with flowery prose and emphasising responsibility.  Thumbs up, kandrathe. :)

Oh. I agree. But, I think our friend Abramelin was challenging us to come up with more than the correct answer, but rather to explain how that answer was derived. It is plain to us that in general we are better off within a society founded on justice and equality, rather than the primal whims of grunting cave dwellers. Part and parcel of which is an understanding of property and ownership. Somewhere between pure communism (ownership is forbiden) and anarchy(grab what you can) rests our system where people are assured that their labor bears fruit. But, his poser is akin to asking one to explain how civilization came about, from tribalism to Aristotle, etc. I don't even want to touch the "existence of countries is some kind of hypocrisy" as it would again require an explanation of the fractional reality of socio-political systems, and their disparate evolutions.
