Dec 8 2011: I would love to rid the world of wrongs - here's why
A wrong is a detrimental view imposed on the beholder that causes a victim centric reaction.
Please, think about that statement.
Can we right a wrong? Will we be able to right all wrongs or any wrong? Wrongs involve people who may not have the capacity or capability to understand what a wrong is or why it is wrong - so how can a wrong be righted?
In my opinion, wrongs are historical and usually the result of an incorrectly contextualised situation. That view is then escalated with a fanatical fervour using emotion and as a result, more wrongs take place because of it. I personally would classify "wrongs" on a scale of human-wide to personal (as language often gets in the way as does emotion).
Then the only way I see of overcoming it is to live in the now.
To be part of the moment, the present, could help stop the blame game that are started by those that have wrongs, provides my answer to your question
Dec 8 2011: A illusionist showed the crowd sourcing effect with a jar of jellybeans - asking the crowd to guess the number in the jar. If you would have a jar in the foyer with alot of beans in it and at the end of your talk, average out the answers from all the entries collected (which will be the correct answer) that would have an aha in there for you
