The Consequences of Humanity

Is it true that the human species has evolved from a clump of individual cells that decided to somehow join together under some sybmiotic alliance to promote their survivability on the planet as we know it. That somehow out of this a shared mutual egalitarian behavior mutually took place. It sure does not look like our genes possessed this based on how the human species treats one another in its daily interactions in traffic,the line at the burger stand or cinema. Human beings are much more in a rush to "beat" the guy next to them that the simple niceties and gestures of human courtesy or common decency have all but been eroded in our "advanced" stage of the high tech world we celebrate. Paparazzi run down actors, the "F" word is passed around teens and adults alike as if it's a greeting. We somehow possess the zeal to denigrate and efface our own humanity for the momentary narcissistic delight of making someone else feel less Why do we relish other peoples misery that's so short-lived? What has this gotten us in the last 2000 years of "civilization"? The conquering , destruction and enslavement of other peoples or perhaps the raping and pillaging of communities only to "evolve" into empires that dominate without mercy that makes others indebted to larger institutions which destroy all sense of dignity and smash a person's integrity. Today we feel that we are at the pinnacle of this "evolution" because we have weapons that can be hurled thousands of miles at the push of a button and can destroy a civilization within seconds. We , the modern day hairless hominids do our own version of thumping our chests as we grunt, rant and rave as our ancient forefathers did with the "Harlem Shake" , chest pumps, fist bumps or the classic "middle finger" at misery of others. Let's see ; we all are made up of 75% water, the same water that we all drink. We all require the same oxygen in air as well as similar carbon based materials to derive energy to live. The sun shines on every human in one form or another that rely on. The planet we live on is made up of virtually the same dirt to grow our crops, yet and still we've created a modern day caste system through our own humanity, by human ideals from our human mind that someone else's part of the dirt is more expensive real estate,that someones water is better or the color of someones nostril makes their air better. Isn't this quite astonishing? Many of us justify our own personal ill behaviors because we feel that these small acts of inhumanity are insignificant and feel in the end that we're powerless in comparison to a global organizations actions on matters. But, we would be so wrong as to mistake how someone's violent action in rush hour traffic because of having a bad day could translate into a brutal altercation or worse off a mortal tragedy affecting the many lives of a family. Maybe this would derail a child in that family who loss someone in that road rage incident from pursuing goals to go to college and pick up a gun instead of a laptop and perhaps that kid's pursuit of crime harms somebody else so brutally that this vicious cycle of "oh it doesn't really matter anyway because it didn't happen to me" attitude continues to soar out-of-control. So, whats the answer to humanities rapid demise? It is humanity itself. Systems of barbarism were able to be defeated by communities enlisting rules of law along with sanctions. These tools of society had to be created "artificially" and holographically as mechanisms to give order and balance. Today a new mechanism and new tool stands on the horizon to again give humanity balance and order where it has lost the sense or sensitivity of it's own humanity. Again, the "genius" of humankind comes in the form of tools. Not more bombs, not more rockets , laser beams or heavy armor. Just like the tiny single-celled organism that organized billions of years ago, the micro-chip is poised to become the "key" that will unlock humankind's illness and nudge us to become aware of it's "human-ness" . Where human beings could not learn the lesson of sharing, respect, or other simple gestures of politeness...our technology will be somewhere tucked away around and near us to sharply remind us when we "get out of hand" with one another. This "nano-device" will serve humanity but eroding all forms of "isms" such as sexism, racism, ageism, ethnocentricism, and classcism , crime and in-balances and disorders. The modern instinct which has become extinct will be revised into something perhaps greater? What are the alternatives with 7 billion humans all trying to survive? Genetically modified foods will have to feed a world that is stricken by droughts , genetic manipulation will become the new medicine that heals all, and the micro-chip will become the great limiter of all inequities among mankind. This just might be the world we are "allowing" to be built in this next generation because we have ran out of all other solutions to bring "peace on earth". What idea or mechanism will bring all 7 billion human beings with different languages, races, socio-eonomic classes, educational levels, religions, governments, and economic systems together in the relatively short time humankind has to bring about a new necessary change to evolve humanity before global disaster? The "Nuclear" Clock is 2 minutes away from midnight. Is humanity at this moment yet evolved enough or altruistic enough to realize the consequences of it's own doing? It is time to become deeply pragmatic, rather than hopeless,perhaps even becoming more introspective and philosophical. Ask yourself what war has resolved all our problems; what global central bank Quantitative Easing(Stimulus) has reduced suffering and pain; what new drugs have cured all disease, What new weapon has stopped crime? We are on the precipice of a great awakening for all humanity to show "what it's got" and what greater "self" it's capable of being ; it either has to lay all its cards on the table in the most absolute and greatest altruistic gesture of human-kindness known to humanity. Or, maybe we need to think the next time we "cut" somebody off in traffic or a supermarket line or see our child "butt" in line or bully another kid. Perhaps we need to stop a mere second longer if a kid from another neighborhood , ethnicity or school wants to play with your child. We are going to have to erode the idea and culture that "everyone" is a "suspect" especially if they somehow look "differently" or wear different clothes or have another hairstyle. We are going to have to learn fast by not condemning someone as guilty because they speak with a different accent . Human beings last opportunity just may be having to walk on that faith the keep talking about and give others a real chance to establish themselves and do the right thing. It's time to start acting like a Samaritan, if not the consequences of Humankind's next level of "manufactured" evolution will be about to begin.
