Who is the Most Intelligent? Is it really man?

Hopefully, nearly everyone is trained to consider the consequences of their actions.It's why we punish children for doing wrong and it is why we market products online.(we consider the results of that action). And no, payng taxes s a forced requirement that in no way gives you any share in the blame for your countries ills nor any glory for its ideals. Tax paying is simply something that congress requires us do and has the force of law on their side, se we must do it. Drinking alcohol does not make you responsible for what others do when drunk and learning to use a knifee or a gun does not make you responsible for the actions of any other gun users or knife users either.

Norma,

Perhaps it helps to remember the simple kindnesses that ordinary folks do for one another every day.

One thing about mankind - it knows how to find what it's looking for. If it's war, greed, cruelty... you'll find plenty of it.

But there's also beauty, goodness and people passionate about leaving the planet in a better state than they found it.

Of course, I know that you realize this... and I understand that you're entitled to a good old rant like anyone is... All the same, if I spent my time focused on how many times I've been royally screwed over by the government, losers, deadbeats, cheaters, liars, and scumbag miscreants I'd never get out of bed.

Best,

Brian

I understand the message you are sending and I agree with you and feel that what you say is correct. Its very sad to see some people not understand the significant part they play in the world. Sometimes, conversing with other people about the direction we are heading puts me in a solemn mood and it takes a lot of effort on my part to think positively again.

The overall message I received is the general race of humans are victims to lacking foresight, therefore affecting everything on a negative level. Together, we have all created a very bad stream of karma! Did I understand you correctly?

Before I started working on the internet, mainly involving overall health information, I used to be a restaurant manager. Its so strange how a very stressful and emotional environment can show you the instant affects of karma. I've seen the immediate affects of one strong-willed good person entering the work environment and changing every person's mindset to be a little kinder and give a little more. Obviously, there is a plethora of the reverse situation, but I noticed a much larger overall impact with the first. Still, you sometimes meet certain people in life that plant seeds in your mind that help you grow in a different direction. People do need a rude awakening and people do need to be taught.

With all the passion you contain for this subject, I feel you may be able to play a large role in the reformation of man's mindset. For instance, if every person continually made a small effort to give back, all those small efforts equal a very large effort, but like everything else to begin a project with the intent of leaving long-lasting effects we all must start small. Do you agree?

After reading your blog post, I hope to see you take all that passion and spread your message with care. It only takes one person to begin making a large difference.

Thank you for the thoughts.

Kindest Regards,
Monique Abrams

Yes, Monique, you did understand me correctly. And yes, I do agree with the above sentiment. Little people like us cannot change what governments do but we can change what people do?

We can protest to the right people and if enough protest then governments have to act. Its called people power.

Money is not real, its imagination, yet it is destroying the world. How many times are you hearing about the effect of 'talking up' the economy. We can't eat it, breathe it, or drink it yet it is the most desired thing man has created. Without it we would still survive and probably live healthier, happier and in a more balanced environment.

That does not mean that I am advocating that money is not important now in life in general but it is the means by which some become strong and others weak, some powerful and others subservient, some very rich and others very poor. It is the tool of the wealthy over the servants and it makes all of us slaves to its whims.

It makes us forget what is really important - living. And it destroys faster and more devastatingly than any disease or even all the diseases combined. It hooks people to its vehicle quicker and more tenaciously than any drug and even all the drugs combined.

People kill for it and now they are killing the whole world for it.

Those above who say that people can be kind to each other overlook the fact that we are NOT kind to ourselves. We cannot escape taking in the poison and we swallow bitter pills for the sake of promises and hot air.
