Ezekiel is a good reminder of human nature

"Ah, you shepherds of Israel who have been feeding yourselves - should not shepherds feed the sheep? You eat the fat; you clothe yourselves with the wool; you slaughter the fatlings. You do not strengthen the weak; you do not heal the sick; you do not bind up the injured; you have not brought back the strayed; you have not sought the lost. But with force and harshness you have ruled them."

Jesus told his disciples not to be like the scribes and pharisees because they don't practice what they preach. "They tie heavy bundles and lay them on the shoulders of others but they do not lift a finger themselves. They do all their deeds to be seen by others. They love to have the place of honour at banquests and the best seats in the synagogues and to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces."

In 2-2 1/2 thousand years we are not much different. I wonder how long attitudinal evolution takes?
