Man’s First Big Step For Mankind
It’s been a while since I did a synopsis on ‘The Journey of Man’ as told and revisited by Spencer Wells. But fortunately for me, the information and the findings will not disappear or go away. One thing those findings have vehemently affirmed is that We are one peoples.
Let me veer off on a tangent, ok … when we speak about EVIL, we can make lists of ‘what is consider dark’. But I think this separation of nations, this need we seem to have to assert our empiricism and separatism is akin to an EVIL. We go to WAR to defend this ideology, we kill our neighbors our friends and family members to maintain those boundaries.
In actuality the only boundaries that really exists on this planet are those created by Mother Nature, the only lines that divide one country, province, state, county, city or town from another are ‘man made’ divisions and these can easily be altered. Different languages are insignificant … a language can be learned, different forms of dress shouldn’t be an issue … an outfit is easy to recreate; the differences in cuisine’s isn’t a biggy … they are child’s play to replicate; none of this matters, none of this is enough to justify an imaginary line being drawn between any 2 area’s on a planet that belongs to all of us equally.
During our 50+ millennia on this planet, technically we have advanced exponentially but our humanity, our tolerance for ethnic differences and our acceptance of our brother’s and our neighbor uniqueness has digressed. Sometimes it appears as though we frantically search for reasons to erect yet another barrier, as if there isn’t already an overflow of boundaries. Just imagine what life would be like if our love for life in all of it’s forms could have kept pace with our technological advances.
What’s wrong with us … or maybe it’s me, maybe I’m missing a big piece of this puzzle …
