Are we going to continue the cycle of metaphorically playing at "king of the hill"? Because here is a clue, there will always be someone willing and ready to knock us off the top, if we have ever gotten there. This idea that competing for some value that is measured by the lack of value from less fortunate ones is demeaning and petty at best. What it also does is keep us from forming a better method for our self expressions. Being in a fair and just competition within an overall framework that promotes the best of our ideals is my hope, not the current method of dog eat dog for what? I guess that being an efficient species is not something many of us clamor for but I do and for good reason. We have no overall plan for our species nor even our planet. We are just muddling along with old policy paradigms that still reflect unenlightened causes and effects. In other words, we are not all rowing in the same direction and the result is we are going nowhere. As time continues to move we are stuck. I say this because once enlightenment has come to be understood, every time we miss a chance to improve ourselves or make the changes necessary for us to move toward greater sustainability for our species and our planet, the lower the odds become for us to survive in a Universe that doesn't need to give us a "by your leave" to confront us with insurmountable obstacles. I suppose if you don't see us as all in this together and you don't care what happens in this existence after you are gone from it then nothing I say here will change your perspective. However if there is some little humanity in your soul that needs to feel fulfilled, then you have an opportunity to find a value for it through recognizing and advocating for higher ideals whose purpose is to bring all into a more equal and just functioning society.
