"We are nature incarnate,we are tools of her probings and if, indeed, we suffer and we fail, from our lessons she will learn which way in the future not to turn.'" - Author Howard Bloom, The Global Brain
Being an Idealist leads to a sad sad life.
Looking for human perfection in a world that does not want that perfection gets you nowhere
Some of us have very little and we must watch as our children starve and die of horrible diseases. Others, like to complain when their ice machine breaks and they have to drink warm sugar water. There are two sides to this coin and depending on how it's flipped - depends on where you end up.
We live in a world of invisible boundaries. Nation states and their religions have been programmed into our very DNA over billions of years. We, as humans, will always split into groups only to gleefully destroy other groups. It gives us a sense of purpose - a sense of self. We are only animals controlled by the instinct of greed and self preservation. To sit and think that this should change, that a world without war is somehow within our grasp - is futile. It will never be what you want it to be and you must realize the world for what it is - a brutal spec of sand in the incredible vastness of time and space.
Sit back and engoy the fun.
