Sure I didn't think so - ok thanks !   |
Now, now, people like me always think outside the box. But you don't have to suspect everything and everyone just for the sake of it. Some things are good and true and so are some people. What is useful is being able to discern what and whom to throw out and what and whom to retain and always to base decisions on common sense and analytical procedure and not to allow anything else to interfere with the natural moral mode in each individual. This differs from individual to individual, of course, so you can't afford to be dogmatic about everyone and everything.
We are evolving creatures living in an evolving universe. We should never forget that.
And we share our space with other creatures doing likewise. Life is hard. The world is unforgiving. These are facts. But because we are capable of evolution we can adapt to changes and travel on. Sometimes we make mistakes and die, or fall behind, but there is almost always the chance to learn from these mistakes and carry on. This makes us a poignant species in many ways, not half as powerful and glorious as we might think we are.
We made God in our own image and this is where we made our greatest error. We tend to lack insight about the world. But we are changing. Science is helping us to learn more about who and what we really are.
