The highest value in existence is humanity (#880)

I see nor understand any higher value than us humans. The Universe we live in is irrelevant to us if we are not here. Everything is about how we live in this existence. A big part of that is how we treat everything here in existence as well. I am speaking in terms of physical reality and not to anything outside of that. We have systems for living that we are evolving to find what can eventually work for all of us. In the recorded time that follows our human history, we have shown the ability to move forward toward higher ideals for all of us. However, we have also shown the ability to move backwards from time to time as if we have lost our overall concept of advancing as a civilization. This herky jerky bout of fits and starts is unsettling to those of us who have a vision and cannot understand why it is so difficult to achieve more progress toward it. Although that vision may be pure in it's intent, making the process work for it is not. There are those who value concepts other than the best of human principles. It is this struggle against values of lesser degrees that seems to be the impediment to a smoother advance into progress for our civilization. There should be only one motive for action and that is to not only care for our existence with maintenance but to improve our existence through thought and action. Anything less than that is not productive for all of us. When processes for advancement are used in ways that negate principles of honor, justice, equality etc..., to use an analogy, we are less the wave and more the breaker in our human flow. We are not the creator of existence, yet we have been given the caretaker's role. It is our turn, humanity, to show what we can do as a species with intelligent thought and action, to show what and who we really are.
