The same universal truths are at the core of all religions. 

We all seek essentially the same things; a meaningful life, enlightenment, truth, justice, equity, happiness, family, meaningful work, good health, food, clothing and shelter.   What spirit 0f negation aflicts our religious, political and business leaders that such common goals seem impossible to achieve? 

Any chance of humanity getting it’s act together for some harmony, mutual understanding and compassion in the forseable future before our highest aspirations are crushed in disillusionment?

I think the anwer is within our own hearts?  When we all seek for the light of the universal love and wisdom within our own hearts, perhaps there is a chance we will see the same things reflected in the hearts of our fellow human and creature kind.
