Let all of them evil genies outta those bottles, the multitudinous Pandoras flowing freely from their myriad boxes.
'Specially if we been 'round long as you fellas say we've been, these innate little evils we spent eons on, we went several rungs up the "evolutionary" ladder to attempt to encase, capture to keep us from hurting us. All cultures pretty uniform in the thinking, almost, if not, universal among the many lands. Why has history not really allowed this? Have to give it at least a little wonder... why? Right?
oke
And some didn't follow the norm, whatever happened then? Read your histories, you know what I'm gonna tell you, but shouldn't just take my word for it...check for yourself.
If you've already done that then...
sooo...
You'd toss the wisdom of the ages...?? Not usually a particularly wise policy. One can think, no doubt, of the former faulty wisdoms of the ages properly tossed, Racism/slavery being a, if not the, major one of those.
This is not that. Lines drawn, prudently, logically, nearly all societies in the past, at least while successful. The ones that have so far survived, concluding the way of the too much desired is not all that much society-effective. Fraught with too many instances where it is definitely the less prudent way. Family ends up meaning less and less, not beginning meaningless but on that path, heavily the path to be discounted to attract more, ummm, exotic of the traverlers.
Should society strive to build the best foundational blocks for the future, not give into known fatal weaknesses? That, in all probablity, will do the least, probably far least, harm long term. Civilization is one of rising, up, reaching pinnacle then down. We would probably do better to guess we have yet to reach our pinnacle, though we have already done quite well. I think I could confidently say better, up to this point, or almost this point, than anyone ever in the history of the planet. One should not start to even think of looking down, that surely means a fall. Pick out any of the astronomical number of rises and falls, at any and all levels: families, tribes, clans, villages, states, empires, corporations, churches, political parties, apparently its inevitable... but always better to keep striving ahead, upwards, staying strong, keeping to the basics of what brought you this very far...at least minimally, or one logically will begin to sink.
Morality, listen close to the founders, is simply a necessity. To be moral you have to have one, a morality. Not sliding scales sliding inevitably downward, nobody allowed to even to know which way would be up, that being discriminatory all being now "equal" you see.
Has modern man been given everything only to then end up wanting even more... to the point of too much? Have we not even the scantiest ability at self restraint, must we plunge feet first into the rabbit hole, down into the fog of more chaotic elements, through the various rings, Dante nodding us along... And I well know that does, indeed, look as much like up as anything else to you, but....
Wwwhy? Its just... kinda a dumb position. You cannot accept acceptance, just gotta push it, huh? I guess that is human nature, too. ....But, back back in this brand new comfy airtight canister we made just for the occasion now, sorry...gotta be done...you know, for the collective [ that should make you feel a bit better anyhow ]...
Whew...did my good work for the day...ha ha ha :inandout:
