It’s just too much for Humanity -- Harmony and Peace

In this cycle of human history, approx. 10,000 years, humanity has been wracked with turmoil, war and conflict on personal and national/tribal levels -- if there is/was one society free from these types of conflicts, as war seems to be endemic, please inform this uninformed writer.

Until then, I will proceed on the basis of accounts since RECORDED history, that is, written historical accounts which also find their way into religious texts, all of them, regardless of which civilisation is studied. Indeed, the Bhagavad Gita narrative is set on a battlefield, while the foundation book of the three Abrahamic religions, is riddled with war and accounts of Jehovah himself displaying homicidal and particularly genocidal tendencies (Deuteronomy) -- to put it mildly.

And so are we to face the obvious reality, humans are incapable of sustained peace and harmonious living with each other AND the environment, speaking of which the most destructive environmental statement I have read is straight from of the Old Testament, “... subdue the earth” and lord over other lesser species -- such arrogance, which consequences humanity and the planet are reaping today, notwithstanding the fact that a REAL creator would not have said a disharmonious word or instructed his creations to vandalise the earth -- omniscient God, my arse, but that's another story written by MEN.

However, no-one needs any created God to inform them that peace and harmony are the only viable options for humanity and the environment, as is understood by traditional societies all around the world. Without a harmonious approach to their environment and each other, harsh living conditions would have made social survival impossible. So we see and are taught by example, the tenable and sustainable approach to life. Interestingly, traditional societies do not write. Their stories are handed down orally and in dance, ritual and art/culture -- in other words, they live their religions/beliefs -- unlike the shameless HYPOCRITES that subscribe to the major written religions.

This dilemma leads me to enter a first person dialogue, so I ask you, ‘why so difficult, harmony and peace? Surely continuing down the path of disharmony and conflict would end all civilisations today, plain to see. YET what do we see TODAY, escalating wars and conflict -- haven’t you had enough, people, I mean 10,000 fuckin' years?

Clearly, the answer is in the negative. It seems you all prefer annihilation and ruin to lasting peace and harmony! Well, as is plainly evident today you have chosen very unwisely and will pay the price for your human failings -- and do not for a minute imagine that you are the supreme species, as cockroaches have it all over humans in the survival stakes, self evident.

However, humans have a choice unlike nature’s supremely intelligent/instinctive animals that have no choice but to follow nature’s harmonious pattern.

So there you have it, a simple truth/reality: humans are incapable of harmonious peaceful living and so will end their tenure on this earth and NOTHING is able to save the species other than itself -- a few simple uncompromising choices is all it apparently takes but its all just too much for humanity -- PATHETIC -- so, Merry fuckin' Christmas and a very desperate New Year, losers!
