..and evolve we did

so god made mankind, and probably the way he had it planned, we were expected to evolve-and evolve we did..or, may be we weren’t exactly created humans but primates who would learn and evolve into humans-but evolve, nonetheless.

as kevin kelly tells us, our primate forefathers learnt if they lived long enough to learn..and then, if they lived long enough to pass their wisdom on, they did pass it on to their daughters and sons, who apparently lived long enough to develop sensibilities to receive wisdom that their mothers and fathers had..this would also, usually, save generations after generations the time spent in discovering wisdom already discovered..thus would evolve a species, and so would, very expectedly, the nature of incremental wisdom being discovered-with better and more advanced learnings usually replacing the basic learnings, generations after generations.

humans, however, amaze me, for they defy all logic. and they just refuse to learn. and everyday, instead of becoming better, become worse..and i wish we learnt to live life, to love each other, to let us love each other, to believe in each other, to trust them, to understand them..and i wish it was this wisdom, and not the walls, not the divisions, not the castes, not the religion, not the borders, not the conflicts, and not the hatred that we passed on to the generations..

..alas, we don't!

  1. Well, I guess the fact that you realize it, might actually mean that we are indeed passing those things along(but of course that is true only if you do count yourself in, with us humans)!

  2. by "those" I mean the ability 'to live life, to love each other' etcetera that you think we are failing to improve on with time!

  3. I count myself in..But then, I'm disappointed with my own species. The reason I think about those things is not so much because they were passed on to me, but more so as I find them absent and feel an absolutely urgent need for these things to be taking place in the way we conduct life. If anything was passed, it was the recognition of this orphaned absence. I still think we haven't done a great job at being a good society.
