carts and horses

 And so we have carts and horses.  Not long ago, most people where a good deal more

familiar with both, but currently familiarity with either has decreased, however,

most people are aware that generally the horse goes in front of the cart for many

good reasons.

We do have examples, however, in most of our lives that are very similar. So, one example

is money.  Now most people given sufficient time to consider, I think would agree, that

the purpose of money is to serve mankind generally, and of course that would include

people, which does also include you and me.  The idea that people should be serving

money, is kind of a horse and cart thing, but you might see that it is somewhat difficult

in many ways to keep that straight.  

Then we might consider economics, a bit longer story, and of course for many 

I think somewhat difficult to distinguish from money.   But again a similar

concept is in play here.  You would think that economics should serve mankind

rather than the other way around. Likewise, perhaps, politics as well should

be included.  Of course both politics and economics are sciences, but money

is not.

Finally there is morality.  What morality is exactly can be difficult to

describe.  People generally have different thought about what exactly

it is.  On the other hand, most people would agree, morality is morality.

Being nice, considerate and thoughtful in relationships with others

would most likely be included in what we commonly think of as

moral behavior.  It can be a bit difficult to think of, but similar to

the afford mentioned examples, morality would be best if it

served humanity rather than the other way around.

You also might expect that it would be quite plausible I got this all

the wrong way around.
