We are supposed to be beautiful, spiritual beings with the rest of the earth at our command. But we find ourselves barely above the intelligence level of animals. Fighting daily battles, nation against nation and man against man. Even our own families are subjected to this rage. We have created more violence in our world than the animal kingdom ever will.At least animals use and display violence for a reason. Humans are the only creatures committing senseless acts on a continuous basis, destroying their own habitat as they go along.How intelligent is that? I realize that this is a gloomy picture I am painting. Awakening to the fact that our earth is just a tiny speck somewhere in the universe, controlled and abused by human beings. Being at the mercy of natural forces that we have not the slightest control over and finding ourselves locked in a dimension that at best offers little more than temporary happiness and the gift of living, may it only be for a brief moment in the grand illusion of history.

Is this a perspective we are stuck with? Is this the real and undivided truth of our existence, all we can hope for?

No way, my friend. You have been given choices. It is up to you to make the right ones.Hopefully you are not so narrow-minded as to believe that this earth and the universe surrounding it was created by chance. Billions of years ago a "Bang" and from then on everything kind of developed by itself. That does not sound very reasonable, does it?
