What is the antidote to human self destruction?

[lightbulb27]

Directionally... humans can go in extreme directions with terrible results. See article below capturing a small segment of those, innocent children caught up in global conflict

. Notable from story blow was the 80yr old veterans return where he learned to stop hating Japanese. That hate was cured by the behavior of the school girls.

Don't look now, but we have also stopped hating the Vietnamese. we are beginning to sell them military supplies and equipment and we are buying a lot of products that are made there. Which is good, because we want to freeze out the Chinese. I know that some Vietnam veterans carry a grudge. But they ought to carry a grudge against the United States government for immersing them in that mess and allowing them to be killed one by one without any strategy for Victory and disengagement. Like the guy Sniper 3 said, Maybe us Americans won't fuck it up this time

Ha, its lime an old western… you know we are going to f it up… question is how bad. Watching Ukraine war, its really sick… and it could be any of us w the wrong mistakes. Humans have not evolved, so it can repeat. I value jesus more, dont see a cure.

There probably is none. As our own self preservation seems to outweigh the good of the future.

But as long as we keep raising standards of living and giving normal people a better life, the more they’ll fight for it

lot truth there. the self preservation, Jesus dealt with that and it is the key issue... overcoming death. when do that, the prisoner is more free. It's a daily thing though, we go off course easily and become selfish again, especially a have more and more. That's the "mammon" I noted before... wealth/money... it is corrupting of the soul.
you'll find some poor people happy because they have the key things of life. of course, it's too

You think religionists (including Christians) aren't selfish?

[lightbulb27]

We all are, some more some less. Jesus was not… hos followers are all humans in progress each w their own skills and gifts and limits… u fortunately

[OddBeMe]

Jesus demanded his disciples give up their lives and follow him, do what he says for life. Kinda selfish

[lightbulb27]

You are right. Its a tough measure, ‘we’ know whats right but dont do it. Even apostle paul wrote about that. Its a worthy spiritual challenge to overcome… harder to be follower if Jesus than not.

[OddBeMe]

We’re all selfish. Best self knowledge is to know everyone just wants what they want. Some people just have a better sales pitch.

For mother nature to end this evolutionary cul de sac & start over.

[lightbulb27]
