Relative Something

The thing about indicating a page is blank by writing that it is blank, well… “The phrase is a self-refuting meta-reference in that it falsifies itself by its very existence on the page in question.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intentionally_blank_page). It just makes me feel uneasy with how we have evolved when I stop and examine some of the ways we do things. Before you know it, we will see warnings telling us that hot coffee is hot or that we shouldn’t let children play with plastic bags from the dry cleaner.

Do you ever think that sometime in the future the human race will achieve a state of being that leaves out the aspect of doing stupid things? What happened to survival of the fittest? Why hasn’t doing “stupid” been eliminated by attrition? Maybe there is profit in it. If somebody’s making money as a result of it, then there is motivation to have it continue. I’m going to have my lawyer look into this.

Why can’t we all just get along? Sibling battles can be ruthless, but if there is a threat against the family, suddenly they are the closest comrades and strongest defenders. Families can feud until there is a call to defend the neighborhood against an outside challenge. When the planet is threatened, our wars between nations will lose importance and all people will need to unite and direct their angst at a common foe. Of course, if it comes down to needing to fight other humans to preserve self, we still have it in us to not get along.

Don’t you just love the feeling when you find yourself in an elevator with just one other person, and that person just happens to be your rival? There is an opportunity to look at things with the eye of God. What would it be like if all people put into practice the concept of unconditional love at all times in all situations? I don’t think it would be stupid.
