One of Us

I believe,at the end of life we are asked the question, "what have you learned?" I might say that I have learned that without appreciation all worlds would lay trapped in the Everstill. For with appreciation comes scrutiny. The kind of scrutiny and curiosity that reveals all purpose which only appears to be to compete for resources but what is the point if they are squandered anyway.What chance do we have if the primary notion the mainstream motivation is to indulge the ego to let it gorge itself upon the dignities of others. Are we so base? Will we ever rise above such inclination? Is beneath this grim facade of humanity hearts that feel nothing for the plight of another? Considering nothing and are so compelled to interfere with the fates of others. Could we indeed be host to entities whose goal is to lead us down the path of self destruction? It looks to be the more plausible explanation because we are not so different from one another otherwise. Our hands would not stay in the face of injustice. Our words would not fail to find our lips in the presence of inequality. Our hearts would dare indifference to rear its ugly head. It has been proven the primate is a social creature. we are emotionally built to to interact positively with another towards common beneficial goals. We are not designed to wage war for differences of opinion. We were never meant to expend precious life for whim or profit. To do so is to be something other than human. Something that benefits from chaos and destruction. Something that actually delights in the suffering of others. Not of this world. Not one of us. Only pretending.Only waiting while we destroy ourselves with poison that we pay for.Turn resources of this world into anything toxic, destructive, counterproductive to nature.
Its pathetic. I feel for us. To be duped so. To fall for the lesser subtleties of The Adversary. To be duped not because of blind trust like the child. But to be coerced in such a way as to let us believe that it is our ability to make decisions that empowers us. That if we want to smoke, drink, drive fast, eat whatever the hell we want. It's our prerogative. We earned it. We have earned the right to squander everything. The right to disrespect everything we don't understand or care to understand. That that is our primary purpose. To make this world regret us. I cannot believe that there is not one among us that does not bear a true mantle of compassion and civility. That there is not at least one who would not compromise true integrity for I believe that one is all it would take to declare this grand experiment called human existence to be declared a success. So that when I find myself at the end of life and is asked that all to important question I hope I wont answer 'I have learned that we have learned, nothing'
