Tearing ourselves apart?











I wonder. I do.

One thought on “Tearing ourselves apart?

  1. If history tells us anything (which we often ignore), is that humans start with the intention of making it better, and then power and greed takes over. Think the Roman Empire, the British Empire, even America – the founding fathers would be shocked at the current state of the country. America started out to be the land of the free, not the land of the watched and paranoid. Easter Island as an example of environmental damage. There are people with good intentions, but then there are those with selfish intentions. Psychopath Night on Channel 4 recently covered this quite well. The financial crash was arguably the fault of “psychopaths”. I just re-watched Grizzly Man, and in it Werner Herzog notes that Timothy Treadwell believed he could live in harmony with bears, although Herzog then said he didn’t share his view (not necessary because he didn’t want it to be true, but that it doesn’t appear to be true). “I believe the common character of the universe is not harmony, but chaos, hostility, and murder.”. That’s pretty much the scientific viewpoint, the spiritual viewpoint is the opposite though.
