Admitting the truth about ourselves (#1586)

We are not by nature evil people. The act of being evil is learned and then expressed. We are curious about how we got here in this existence and what happens after we leave. We are a bit fearful about how fragile our lives are but over time we come to dominate our fear through courage and being bold. It is who we are! We also care about each other. From our early childhood we have all wanted to be accepted by each other. Again, over time that changes to being less open to acceptance due to bad experiences that are learned. Our natures are to wonder about things and to care about where and who we are. We understand over some short time that we are also biological data processors who can analyze and reason through our senses and our common sense/logical evaluations. We are an incredible species who are not being efficient about our lives. Many generations have come and gone throughout our history and yet we are not able to utilize our talents with any high degree of efficiency. For some reason we have placed economics at the top of our priority list for survival when the naturalness of our curiosity mostly goes unbidden. I don't see our civilization as it is now carrying forward too much longer in the present paradigm we find ourselves. As technology and innovation, along with education continue to open new avenues of thought previously unknown, I expect our human species to move from the base of economic prowess toward a shared responsible utilization of individual talents within a communal obligation and duty we ascribe to each other. Shared responsibility is our best path forward as a species because it allows for each of us to respond to the same types of stimuli which could then lead to our own remarkable abilities being recognized and then utilized.
