Seems simple enough. Yet in the most profound adventure the human race could alight on, we have forgotten this fundamental principle. In the context I am writing about is the betterment of civilization. Everyone attempts to say what is the right thing to do for society and the world on whole. That is all well and good. However, we must understand what it is to be human. We must know and define our natures to the core before we can begin to establish the best society for our present and future. All things we establish for our society must be defined through the lens of who we are. It is my judgement that we have two natures that are inherent within us, compassion and curiosity. We care about things and we wonder about things. There is the survival instinct, and that is the wild card that seems to be a subset of both compassion and curiosity. Now you may wonder how I can say this with a straight face. It is easy for me to say this because all other natures displayed by humanity are a direct result of being denied one or both of the natures of compassion and curiosity. It is my contention that we are noble beings at creation and that environment and circumstance whittle us down to lesser than noble beings. Caring and discovering are what we are. Our society must reflect the most opportunity that these two traits need to flourish. Starting at the beginning of who we are will help us continue to elevate the living experience for us. We are inherently noble beings and we should have a society that allows us all to reflect that.
