Out of the ashes of the failed comes the successful (#1044)

I give credit where credit is due and in the overall progress of humanity towards a better society I do feel a sense of optimism about where we are going as a species. We still have the same old problems of deception and manipulation but they are harder to conceal and our society is getting more intelligent with each passing generation. The ebb and flow of the past millennium has brought us to a place where ego-based tried practices of the past have shown themselves to be incompatible with human life to the point of being null and void. In other words some things we have tried are worthless. Moving past the worthless to new ideas and aligning them so that humanity can mesh in a mostly seamless way is our future. Reevalution of life and how to structure society is within our abilities and more important our destiny to reshape. There will always be root problems from our previous attempts to civilize our society but what we can do now will hopefully make the transition to a new paradigm in how all facets of our society function as painless as possible. Change will occur and those who would obstruct change are not only doing a disservice to themselves but to their offspring and every other living soul. This rock we live on and the space that bounds it are not permanent nor static. Change is our destiny and anyone who thinks we are beyond change and that everything is as it should be is only being in denial. Our species is a pleasure to be a part of and fulfilling that pleasure and continuing to increase opportunities for those who are less than fulfilled is our duty. As our lives are cycled in and out through death and birth so are the principles we continue to instill in our wake. We do make a difference and how big or small that difference is will be determined by what we accomplish from what doesn't work to what does work.
