Disillusionment and Societal Structures

This chapter critically examines societal structures, including laws and charitable systems, questioning their effectiveness and motivations behind them. It highlights a deep skepticism toward progress, human compassion, and the role of traditional institutions like marriage and the legal system in managing social order. Personal anecdotes and reflections on global issues, particularly regarding China, underscore the complexities of governance and the often unfulfilled promises of systemic change.
