We are caretakers of this planet, not creators of it! (#1980)

Why we all are not taught as children that we owe a duty of care to each other and to our planet and all the living things on it is very disturbingly anti-progressive and unenlightened. I tell everyone whenever I can about the nature of humanity and the humble responsibility we have to prove our intellectual and emotional harmony with our surroundings. We are not the craven filthy unwashed of our origin, we have matured and morphed into a species that realizes it has a conscious but also a destiny to achieve. We are the great miracle of life that is given the sensical mental acuity and the ability to understand emotional empathy. We are here in time with these awesome human traits at our disposal yet we act as if we are less than that for some reason. We don't all gird within us the foundation of our potential. Instead we get caught up in the minutiae of every day life. Our existence in the every day life cycle is only for providing what is necessary for decent living, not as an end all. Instead it is only for the beginning. We strive to have the means for some security only because we have greater purpose to understand and to be a part. As we live the continuum of our lives we must not lose sight of the fact that living as a means just to live is not worthy of our potential. We must and require more than just to survive. We must quench our curiosity, we must interact with each other to express our care, we must plan for the best we can be and should become. Why we are here in existence is still a mystery yet to be solved but if I had to bet on whether our species can accomplish the why of our existence, I wouldn't bet against us but in the meantime we must learn ourselves and teach our children that being alive is not enough for our mighty species.
