In our World
There is a significant number of mysteries and unsolved questions. These all prevent us from furthering our knowledge and exploration of the unknown. They might be trivial or fundamental to our very existence.
We are missing a part of our story.
What that part is I do not know, but I would like to find out. At the very least learn from it, so we can hopefully not make the same mistakes!
The point that this post today is trying to make is the fundamental understanding of our history is skewed by religious notions, and changed history. There are so many different understandings of how the world works. What we do there is look at the world how it rationally looks, and how that effects our Four Pillars (I know rationally effecting the Spiritual Pillar, more on that next time). Taking the bureaucracy of government and religion out of the context allows a simple view: We are here.
We are here in this room, we are here in this country, we are here on Earth, and we are here in this entire expansive universe. It is a mind boggling concept to think about, and when you try to throw in some reasoning as to how, it makes you miss the extremely prudent point. We are here right now capable of amazing things.
The possibilities of our growth is immeasurable, think of all of the science fiction movie you've seen and throw them out the window. We could be capable of much more than even that, but only if we actually tried to go towards that goal in unison. The chance that we all grow up and put the past behind us is slim, but if we can learn compassion for everyone and everthing then maybe there is a chance.
