(#6304) I am still amazed at our human being potential

      It is easy for all of us who live separately from others to think we know quite a bit. But once we are exposed to a larger group of folks we begin to see how much we don't know. On some issues we are very good at understanding and other viewpoints are less about new information and more about less logic. while on the other hand some of our conclusions are illogical and more about the easy comfort that brings.. Overall though, for the most part, most of the beliefs in our own understanding is less logical and in need of more input. Which is why the diversity of opinion is so important. We cannot discount thoughts by others simply because we think we have heard it all. Which here in the States seems to be a real problem.
     Most of us know what being ethical and honest is. Most of us know our own morality when it comes to our own behavior under the rule of law we live within. But what all of us don't know is everything. So we have to keep an open mind to ideas and opinions that at least jostle our own perceptions into an awakened state. When words on paper take on the form of three dimensions full of emotion and inspiration we are this transformed from who we were previous to who we just became. Words on paper from thousands of years ago suddenly strike deep within our hearts and minds as relevant to today. Our human being species is not perfect nor never will be but one thing we are absolutely is evolving.
     We may at times repeat history and it's often terrible outcomes but we also avoid what history has taught us and move to a different response. Our lives are more on a straight line than encaptured within a circle. We may take steps backward at times but we always return to move forward. The evolution of our current species started approximately 7 million years ago. About half a million years ago we controlled fire. We have been evolving to get to our current species since our beginning. With each step forward we are learning that there is much more we need to understand. Thus the beauty of our species. Never learning it all but always learning more.
