Nurture leads to care (#1563)

We all start out our lives being nurtured from some degree to another. Therefore we are products of being nurtured, it is how we survived to maturity. Yet, once we reach maturity, nurture is given such a low priority in out general stages of actions. We are taught, at least here in America, to desire for ourselves over and above the needs of our community on whole. Not in every instance but as a general acknowledgement. How utterly antithetical to our upbringing. None of us moves forward into life without nurture yet we dismiss nurture as a high priority to express. I am disappointed that our society doesn't elevate nurturing throughout our lives as a point of emphasis. Instead we emphasize economical and power factors as desirable priorities. It is an illusion to conceive that the reason we even exist has little to do with nurture and more to do with survival skills. Again, none of us makes it out of our infancy without nurture, yet we seem to have lost the idea of that. Whether it is we are profoundly unable to understand the simple reality that care given to us is what sprouted us into maturity or we choose to ignore that because society allows us to accept illogic as a foundational principle. The benefit of being illogical about our species and it's natural progression gives us the opportunity to do things that are unnatural and detrimental to our community of citizens. Greed and avarice become acceptable forms of ethics and try mightily to replace the logic of our necessitating each other for survival. As an enlightened thinker, I am truly frustrated by our species' inability to grasp the reality of who we are and what we should be doing. The purpose of my blog page is to expose that and yell it from the top of my lungs.
