[QUOTE="BungleJunkie"]The meaning of life is to pass down your wisdom to the next generation. one good deed at a time, one good act of intelligence at a time. this is the way of ultimately making the human race more enlightened.MystikFollower
I like that idea. Unfortunately the blatantly obvious advancements and evolutions that would need to take place across this entire planet are not at the point where they need to be for that to happen yet. And we skirt the dangerous line between technology and understanding. We have the ability to completely destroy ourselves now, but do we have the higher intelligence that comes with that power? Many would argue no. It's a "with great power comes great responsibility" thing.
The changes that would need to be made to our society to achieve what we say we are aiming to be asa culture, are far beyond us at this point. It's not a judgment it's just an observation. We are unfortunately still a very primitive society. Everyone knows in their hearts the things they see every day. The death, the degradation, and pain of others. The blatant abuse of our precious ecosystems, the mistrust, the advancement of the wealthy while the poor are left to suffer. This planet needs a change in consciousness if it's to avoid destroying itself. These are precarious times for us as a people and until we understand that we are ONE (spriitually and physically), we will still base our society on separation and selfishness. I believe that shift will come though. Hopefully before things get to bad...
exactly, yet the wisdom that comes with those dynamics are absent. a wise person wouldn't want to mess with nature, i believe. and another would use biological warfare for their own reasons. wisdom and intelligence are different, wisdom is more of an understanding, where intelligence is simply an elaborate system of thinking.
