The Bigger Picture
|
Hi, how are you? How many times have you heard that? Thousands? And the answer is always the same.
Lets assume for a second that Im talking to a stranger, and instead of the normal answer; Im fine, thanks, how are you? started to tell the truth; Oh, my cat died yesterday and I failed my math test and My conversation partner would stop listening half way in. They would just not be interested in me or my life.
When did the things happening inside our brains get more important than the ones happening before our eyes? When did the evolution lead us to a point where others no-longer matter? We tell ourselves that its ok, the stronger must survive and the weaker can perish; the rule of nature.
A sudden accident and 20 men and women die. We cry and feel horrible, but not because they passed away. We cry, because it happened so close to us. It could have been us dying there. Outside our little social system thousands of people die every day because of starvation, illnesses, and war. But why should we care? It doesnt concern or affect us and they must have done something wrong to deserve the misery.
And then we have a little problem. For us, its huge; it could start a war among us! And we ask for help. But they DARE to decline! We are people in need, they are lower rank, and they should help us! This all could affect them as well!
Not once does it cross our minds that we have been ignoring their needs for centuries. We cut the strings to the world outside and made them the strange, bad people. After a few generations the difference grew, and what happened? We became two separated races, hating each other, never understanding.
The development could go backwards; we could start building our connection again. After all, we still are human beings, who should take care of each other. However, our arrogance gets in the way. No one is willing to start working for it
And what do we learn out of this? You may not learn anything and I already knew it since I was a toddler. Never believe or follow blindly in the public opinion. Trust only your own eyes and brains, because sometimes, its necessary to look beyond the big picture.
