RE: Welcome To The Real World
Thank you, @sandzat, for such a beautiful response :-) Nothing is unreachable in my opinion even when we won't reach the next step in our evolution during our lifetimes, or that of our children or grandchildren. Humankind's true strength is its ability to cooperate while remaining flexible through our individuality. Our lifes are governed through the stories we've grown up with and those we tell our offspring; those stories are what enables us to cooperate on large scales as they fuel us with a basic set of guidelines we all more or less follow, so we don't have to know each and every person we cooperate with. Our stories are wrong, that's all. With the right stories we create a mental landscape that's not contradicting real life. It's gonna be hard and will take a lot of time. But is it impossible? I don't know, I can only hope. What I refuse to do though, is give up on that possibility :-)
