The human experiment (#1159)

How do you see the future of what we humans can be? That is the vision we should all be trying to formulate. Mine is simple enough, be bold and progress with all my ability. Some others also see the future this way and that is good and right in my estimation. Others do not, they tend to want things to stay the same, whatever that is to them. Most fall somewhere in between with greater thought given to their just surviving another day and not so much interested in how our future looks. Yet it is vital that we understand what our future should look like because we are living the present and the present is the last thing that occurs before the future arrives. In other words, we are just seconds from our future and how that is lived is directly beneficial/detrimental to ourselves. Many allow fear, prejudice and a lack of knowledge to comfort them into doing little to continue the evolution of our species into new dynamics and paradigms. Nothing is the same as before, it has all changed and if that changing is the thing that runs us then we are not out in front of it. If however, we boldly embrace that change will occur, and we forge the change ourselves then we are the ones who are creating the new dynamics and paradigms that will represent our futures. I want to be one of the ones who is driving the change and not one of the ones who is stuck with whatever the change surreptitiously becomes. The idea that we can remain the same is captivating, yet unreal. The only true option we humans have is to go forward with our hopes and dreams and make a better world if we can. It is up to us to do the hard work of creating a vision that has at it's heart our two best natures, compassion and curiosity. Let them loose and follow where they lead!
