Essays on Wisdom
(February/March
2010)
Some say that humankind's destiny is preordained. Others say that we can alter our
destiny as time passes by. However, a high probability exists that neither will happen unless we improve ourselves first,
individually, one at a time. Improving ourselves will eventually allow us to alter, for the better, the largely dysfunctional
political and economic structures that we all live within. To do nothing, and to continue to look in the mirror and tell ourselves
that everything is fine and that individual and collective human evolution is not necessay, is to leave the improvement, stagnation,
or decline of humanity to chance, with distant generations into the future looking back and contemplating the many positive
opportunities that those of us who are alive today will have missed.
