Blaming the cook instead of the recipe

The human being sketched by most of our ethical ideals is hardly ever personified in real life. An ethical ideal resembles a cooking recipe in that it usually contains a description of a final exquisite dish and the recipe with which to make it. Looking at some, I sometimes realize that the materials they require for this dish do not exist in reality or if they do they don’t turn out into the exquisite dish that is described by the recipe, no matter how carefully you follow the instructions. Most creators of ethical ideals, instead of blaming themselves, opt to blame the persons trying to cook it. In the end both end up hungry.
