It is a (short term) self enforcing principle, that is the pitty. Like in other ideologies. Civilization should mitigate such effects. And in some cases suceeded. So progress might be possible and should be thought of. But not in changing people or the "nature" of people. There has been progress in history (also backfalls). We would not have warm houses or water supply or electricity if someone had not believed in making a better life.
