(#5786) Our flourishing as a species is on hold, for now...

      It has been nearly a month since we found out that our world is less intellectual than we had thought. We who are not afraid of existence seem to be outnumbered in the moment by those who are. I must admit that it caught me by surprise that so many of us are not worthy of being bold leaders. Instead we are more akin to being meek followers. Our understanding of existence is not up to speed with what knowledge we have gathered that is as close to factual as possible. However logic and common sense work to inform us the process of recognition is not in abundance. A sad report indeed.
     I know a majority of us learn when under great stress. When our backs are against the wall is when we find our attention to understanding is at its greatest opportunity. Unfortunately being between a rock and a hard place is not enough for the majority of us to learn important principles and truths as a constant. Too many of us cannot utilize learning anything other than our own desires despite the good that comes from a collective consideration. We as the human being species don't seem to put value on other human being lives unless it is some value of trade or ownership. It was very hard for me to say that about my species but the evidence of it cannot be denied.
     Instead of we humans treating each other as amazing individuals, we seem to be stuck in the old ways of treating each other as commerce. It is indicative to our overall evolution to this point in time. Enlightened thinking is not being a genius or being brilliant. It is just recognizing that we are all amazing and everything that governs our all being amazing should reflect that. Our species is stuck in a way of thinking that to now prohibits us from focusing our efforts on creating a society that reflects our amazingness to instead remain in a society that uses us unequally and without respect. A change must come if we humans are to thrive, otherwise the alternative will fester instead of flourish.
