HUMANITY

I posted this once before but felt the need to post it again. It is of great importance.

I definitely know and have pretty much always known that humanity has suffered greatly and therefore it can be VERY difficult to see beyond suffering and imagine a much more peaceful existence. There is no doubt in my mind that many "organizations" have done their best at controlling the populace, lulling them/us into a false sense of security. The one good thing I have noticed is that more and more people appear to be awakening to this fact. They are awakening slowly but nonetheless are still awakening. I realize to hope for a massive worldwide change is quite lofty. Nevertheless, I remain true in my hope and/or faith in mankind. Whether it means being witness to a cataclysmic destruction of our race or bearing witness to the dawn of the age of enlightenment.Yes, we do have a tendency to become hostile towards each other but I like to think of it as something we inherited from our primitive ancestors. Their violent actions were useful to them because they had to hunt for their food and fight off any other nomadic tribe that would try to steal from them. I don't believe humanity as a whole enjoys fighting. It is just one of those traits that still lingers in us. We should not try to suppress those urges but instead channel them into much more useful endeavors. Personally, I have never been in a full-fledged physical fight. I have stood up to many "bullies" that would pick on me or anyone else but for some reason they just never followed through with their threats. I've found that usually when someone wants to physically harm you it is because they have been hurt themselves either emotionally or physically. It doesn't even matter if you were the person that caused them harm in the first place. The best technique for beginning any internal change is Introspection. Introspection can be defined as self-analysis. The same way a psychiatrist or psychologist would examine a patient's emotional behavior. With Introspection we are able to go much deeper and gain a greater understanding of ourselves and our actions. Not very many people are willing to give it a try because it does mean having to confront a lot of things from your past, things you may wish to never deal with. Once you are able to break through those boundaries, whatever they may be, you will find that you actually like who you are and what you are capable of accomplishing.Our existence is not always sunny and bright but we do not have to be content with living a life of negativity. We are what we perceive ourselves to be. Our future is shaped by the infinite power of our minds.
