Doing good is the easy part but the process can very often be so tiring. It often reminds me of the myth of Sisyphus, his never ending pushing a boulder uphill. I am generally talking about how the doing good part is relentless in a time when others are not sharing that load. Which illustrates the effort needed to get doing good done. I think about how if we were all doing good the times we would need to do good would be exponentially lessened. Not that doing good is a bad thing but it would need to be done less if we are all trying to do good. The sheer volume of good doing that needs to be done is overwhelming. How do we choose between good deeds when the majority of the deeds are vitally necessary?
We have to prioritize how we choose and that leaves me with an overall despair because regardless of our doing good many will not benefit from the little the rest of us can muster. However, doing one's part is always a priority because some advancement is better than none regardless of the minimalist outcome. When our species cares about each other we are at our best and that is my vision for our existence. It also puts us on track to evolve our existence toward a higher plane of understanding. You hear the term manifest destiny used in conjunction with land acquisition but for me it is our species advancing into the unknown to acquire more knowledge and innovations from that knowledge.
So although tiring because of the workload of doing good it is still much better than the anguish of pain and suffering all around. So hopefully more of us will help take the helm and guide our species toward pathways that actually alleviate the need to always be doing good on a constantly needed basis. If you don't know or haven't figured this out yet we all owe a duty of care to our species. We do not live separate from each other nor individually as a rule. We are a community species that thrives when we are all part of the same quest. I guess what I am asking is that instead of being outside the reality of our problems we all roll up our sleeves and take on the doing good so that we can then move on to other more advanced possibilities our species is capable of achieving.
This blog will be an advocate for compassion, curiosity and human survival. When these elements of human nature are being denied, wholly, severally or individually, less than positive human traits are the outcome. It is my wish and hope that my reasonings on a variety of subjects will provide the readers of this blog with personal and public insights. My only motive is to provide a forum for advancing enlightenment. Carl Clark.
