Hey c'mon

Hey, c'mon everybody! Where is everyone? I posted this thing yesterday! Should I have a large following and herds of clamoring advertisers yet? I guess I had better add some more content ? ok then, here's some more.

Breaking It Down

 OK, We are talking about humanity here. This is a big subject stretching back thousands of years and running down all sorts of potential rabbit trails. Let us break this down into edible pieces. Humans are incredibly complex creatures, unlike anything else that we know of in the universe. Each and every human is a walking wonder of incredible mystery. Did you ever stop and ask, “Why am I even breathing? And how does my heart keep beating without my permission?” If not, then ask yourself that simple, profound question.

 The fact of the matter is that we really don’t know. We do know that each cell of your body is in direct communication with the rest of your body, and that all the cells are powered, driven, cleaned and maintained by chemical/electrical processes and microscopic, organic machines. Each living machine is uniquely programmed to accomplish its function. Each machine operates in complete harmony with the trillions of other machines in there. It is impossibly complex. It is wonderful. That is on the inside.

 On the outside of humans, once you get past the fabulous canvas of human skin, bone and muscle (all functioning in silent, perfect design) we get to see the culmination of all the design. We see humans in their human nature. Each one has totally unique set of experiences that lead, indisputably to what we see there on the road. A man, woman or child walking along. He might be whistling or shouting angry words, she might be raising her arms to the sky worshipping her  creator or screaming at a tree and pulling her hair out. And somehow there are billions of us walking down the roadways of life, moving all over the Earth’s surface. From 50,000’ it might look something like those trillions of machines that maintain our red blood cells.

 How can we look inside the human race and understand what it is that inevitably leads us into wars, corrupt forms of government, environment and body poisoning greed, and countless varieties of self-destruction? After all, we are all really quite the same when you peel back the social and religious outer layers. It will be instructive to carve out some areas that we all have in common, call then the universals. Things that cut across all human societies and time periods. From here we can examine our foundations and begin to look for places where erosion and theft may be at work, weakening our structure.

 What do we have in common? What things are universally seen in play in our various cultures. Let us break it down now, from 50,000 feet.
