Random Thoughts on the Survival of Humanity...

I wrote this in response to a question of whether I believe in survival of the fittest (or struggling against situations) or being part of a community that is cohesive and cooperates for the good of all. The question also brought up the idea of religion contributing to the downfall.

I prefer to say I promote equality and harmony as well as live and let live. Concern yourself only with your own business and take care of those who depend on you to the extent they need it. Do not go above and beyond and censor or advise or influence others against their will. Your life should be more important than nosing into others' business. This would ensure personal responsibility and personal consequences and more fairness and less fighting among people.

I believe in spirituality, not religion. Religion dictates rules and right and wrong. Spirituality doesn't. It simply puts out there that there is more to us than just the here and now physical dimension. Religion divides people and brings anger and judgement and discord. People no longer accept and tolerate and love. They discriminate, judge, divide.

I also believe that we cannot be the only 'intelligent beings' around, there is infinitely more out there than this planet, this galaxy, this universe. Why wouldn't there be others? Either way, freedom is of utmost importance. Freedom to be whom we want, freedom to believe what we want - WITHOUT imposing our feelings on other people. 10 people could believe 10 different things and I think all of them have a right to and all of them should leave each other alone about it. There is nothing to be gained by having all 10 fight and kill each other over a disagreement because they each have a right to believe what they want. One is not MORE RIGHT than another. Maybe all ten are right. Maybe all ten are wrong. Nobody can say so nobody should say anything. I am not sure why we all have this desire to dominate each other. Wherever that came from, it is NOT good. It is enough we should control ourselves and basically be our own masters. There is no need for us to also control and dominate other people.
