Most people fend off bogey men and imaginary monsters, you're right. That's why the world is such a mess. Most people includes the vaunted leadership of the world, including of the U.S. We want them to be better, to know more, to show us the way, and they can't. It takes an adult to look at reality, and inner children run the world, hardly any adults at all.
