We must trust/have faith in our better natures (#984)

The concept of faith has been most often used in relation to religious belief systems. But the type of trust/have faith and I am talking about is the kind that we know about, not what we hope is real. I have spent countless hours describing our better natures, our compassion and our curiosity. These two instincts of ours need our trust. I know, when you think bad things or do bad things, you think these are our natures also, nasty, brutish, whatever. I disagree, these things are not our natures but these things come about when we are denied our compassion and/or curiosity. We must learn to trust ourselves and what is in our intent. That basic idea of what would we do if we were in total control. How life would have nothing wrong in it. It all starts with each of us. Our complexity is amazing. We can handle thinking on different levels as a routine. Cannot we also handle being just our natures and have expectations for others to do the same? None of us is any too different from the rest of us that we couldn't maintain a life on Earth that reflected our better natures instead of a mixture of our best and worst. We have the greatest opportunities to educate ourselves in ways that explain why we need to do what we need to do when it is time to do it. lol. Our base knowledge should encompass all of us and we all should honor the society we could have by being responsible within it. Our past should serve as a reminder as to why we need to continue forward. Our progress into our species' destiny has just begun but what a time to be alive. Nothing can keep us stationary or going backwards but ourselves. We are at the threshold of the future and with the knowledge and technology we now possess, that future is far less fearful and far more inviting.
