We are not some utility that has some simply defined purpose. We are an entity capable of so much beyond what we are currently expressing. Most of us are comfortable with others leading the policies that define what we can or will do. That is not how it should be. We all need representation as it currently exists but not as an end all but as a beginning. We individual humans need to push ourselves to understand our world and the interconnectedness we all share. Our values and our possibilities must go hand in hand. The objective and correct foundation is for us to treat each other the way we wish to be treated. Now I am not talking about any selfish extravagance but about a respect and dignity we all owe to each other. From that initial starting point we can then build upon our natures of curiosity and compassion and begin to see our existence as more than a continuum of night and day on a planet we will live and die on. All of our efforts must be focused on moving on from our earthly home out into the unknown that encapsulates us. We need to keep a society that works as a means to progress but that work should not be just about making a profit, it should be about building a purpose of shared destiny. Our work should be about elevating us in ways that help our curiosity answer questions we have long ago given up finding solutions for. If we are all advancing toward our shared curiosities about this existence then we find we can share our compassion more freely with each other. The determined effort of our species to work together toward goals that are instinctual in our souls is how we move past the petty denigration inherent within our current societal norms of just existing to exist.
