This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for August 15, 2007:
A one hundred Warranty solution..?
Kill all life!
For as long as we are animals (which we are),
We will always fight, for either food, more food. Power or more power.
War, is something you will have to learn to deal with.
But, it can be solved. But it requires a way of thinking in which you always objectively approach your fellow being. Something which you are not able to do on your own.
Small groups of aquintances, that do not combat other groups for gain of food, power, territory etc.. Can treat eachother objectively.
But even thinking that you need to treat others the way you want to be treated...
I'll just have to wait for a world without religion and borders. Where everyone's value's and standards are the same...
I'd say every recipe, in this millenia, will be doomed to burn...

Gotta love a realist!
“It requires a way of thinking in which you always objectively approach your fellow being. Something which you are not able to do on your own.”
It seems easier to me to approach objectively alone, than in a group, since it also means one has to detach from the story of our own life, to be able to be objective at all.
That means leaving behind preconceptions about who you are and have been, and who you are looking at.
thanks for the healthy cynicism. gets me thinking deeper
No actually. Statistically, 95 percent (including me) thinks better of themselves then they truelly are. And in essence practically everyone thinks that they are either better, or worse of a person that they really are. To fully be objective about all matters (Social in particular) one needs other people around them, to judge objectively.
BUT! Others do not / cannot judge us objectively! They dont know everything.
In my humble opinion, once you know everything there is no way to judge… just understand.. some of us can understand better some will remain closed in their own preconceptions of “right” and “normal” and will be only able to judge.
I dont want to say something too general, since generalizations is an intelectual laziness, but I suppose everybody wants to be understood, not judged.
I agree on the religion- religion is “opium for masses”, most of them emphasis differences, bring up an unhealthy feelings like self guilt. So to have more peace- most religions should die, I think, but borders… hmm we people are racists! or ….are we talking about an ideal situation?
An easy read, and full of really scarey information about just how much we think of ourselves, and how right each one of us thinks we are, is Cordelia Fine's book, A Mind of It's Own.
Sure, that is why it says small groups of acquintances!
The people we act with a lot, know us. And can tell when we are unobective, due to personal inflictment with the matter. (In example politics)
