There's no doubt at all that humanity, both individually and collectively, falls far short of what we could and should be. Every one of us is selfish, hypocritical, and self-justifying. Ideally our institutions would make it easier for us to be good, but they aren't set up that way. For the most part they encourage and reward our worst behavior.
Of course you do. You hold forth a standard which cannot be met, and promptly complain when nobody meets that standard that cannot be met.
That is assinine.
