But no other animal, besides the human being animal, is greedy. So, we, human beings, are in fact, in this sense, VERY different than any other animal on this planet.Dontaskme wrote:Wanting is the problem I agree.ken wrote:
By the way everything else besides what is needed to live and survive are just wants and ALL of these wants lead to greed, which then has caused pollution, which then leads to polluted air and water, whilst greed also causes lack of nutrients for some and also could be seen as the greatest cause of neglect of children, and thus of child abuse in the world. Ironically, polluted air, polluted water, lack of nutrients and child abuse are all the things we do NOT need and coincidentally do NOT want.
I can't see greed ever changing, it's the nature of the beast. We're no different than any other animal on this planet.
The reason human beings are greedy is very simple, and because of this simplicity, if and when the reason is fully discovered and understood, then the solution is also just as simple. It is very easy to change our greedy behaviors around completely, and then moving in the opposite and right direction, which will and is for the benefit of all.
There is nothing hard in Life, only human beings see things as being hard. Also, it is only human beings that make things appear hard.
And, only human beings create problems.Dontaskme wrote:We just happened to evolve an awareness that can solve every problem we have self created.
For every problem we, human beings, create there is also a solution.
There is, in fact, even a solution and answer to the problem, 'How do we find the solution that will solve all of our problems?"
But finding the reasons WHY all of us adults do wrong provides the solution, and thus is also the prevention, for wrong ever happening again.Dontaskme wrote:It's ironic in that we create a problem and then want to solve the problem. If only we didn't create the problem in the first place, and that's the problem, in that no one is doing it...it's just what happens. Having the knowledge of right and wrong, or what's moral or not has created problems that were never there in the first place....knowledge has been our enemy.
Adults may want to believe they are not doing 'it', wrong, but adults are the only one's doing wrong. There is nothing at all that makes adults do wrong, they just choose to it. But within the reason WHY they all do wrong lays the answer and solution, to this problem.
Once adults are truly honest with themselves then prevention can and WILL take place. Prevention is, after all, better than a cure.
And, a very true point.Dontaskme wrote:For example: we might strive for happiness because we think we're unhappy....but life has never been unhappy to want happiness. That's the point we seem to miss.
I have telling people for hundreds of centuries just be happy with what you have already got. But you can imagine how many have missed this mark, and want more?
That is the difference between the two of us individual people. i have seen exactly how people can change, from wanting what is not needed, and how that change can and will take place for the better of 'themselves', and thus also for the better of everyone.Dontaskme wrote:Life doesn't want anything....it's the human wanting that's the problem, I don't think there is any hope for humans, extinction beckons.
There is always hope. If not, then there is really no use in continuing. Without hope there is no reason to live.
