Is It Reality Or Just Desire?

So after much frustration and impatience, Josh Goldman is finally on the blog. So to skip straight to the important stuff, I thoroughly enjoyed Wesley's sermon, yet I have somewhat of a disagreement with what he is saying. His argument about worrying about your own sins instead of blaming others to make a utopian society sounds great, but is that realistic? Could that really happen? Here it is 200 years later, and the same problems are amongst us: We still have a ridiculously high unemployement, people are still deprived of their senses (people strive to be wealthy, yet compared to most in the world, they already are extremely wealthy, so they ALREADY HAVE what they want), and other reasons described in Wesley's first argument. So if Wesley says that the reason these things are happening is because people sin, then why are the problems still around. You can't tell me that even after this sermon that people still sin? (Sarcasm intended) The simple fact is for Wesley's sermon to be a success, every single person (or at least a majority) would have to quit placing the blame on others and place blame on themselves, and is that likely? Not at all.
