our fatal flaw is our tendency toward cruelty and there may be no fix for it.
Nicely put! You might be right, but I hope not What you say is true, but there is another side (there always is) - we also have great intellects who actually are working to find those solutions, they just don't happen to be in the White House! I believe there are still visionaries out there. From history we see that there will always be people who won't give up, and many others who will wake up when it gets bad enough. And some who don't.
We aren't necessarily evolutionary dead-ends. We may be able to make a quantum leap in consciousness so that we are able to survive, albeit in reduced numbers.
We have the capacity now to communicate with more people than ever before- we just need pioneers of this new frontier to gather together the brightest minds and deepest spirits to create a global mindset that has more power than any of its parts. I truly believe that with this method of communication, we can either save or doom ourselves. I vote for save-
liberiamom Reviewed by liberiamom on . I am nature... ? If man is a product of nature, then doesn't it follow that whatever man makes is also a product of nature? When a beaver builds a dam we call it an act of nature. When a man builds a dam we call it interfering with nature. But both the beaver and the man are themselves creations of nature, and both are merely doing what they evolved to do. Is it possible that we were chosen to have intelligence for a reason? Is it possible that we have a greater role to play in the future of our world Rating: 5
