What Say U!

This much noted, I believe however that the question is still a very important one. I am reminded of an old wisdom (in its paraphrased form): with great powers come great responsibilities. The superior ability of the human creature -to that of other creatures, has offered this creature the ability to create much abundance that is enjoyed the world over. However, this great superior ability is endowed for the stewardship of our environment. I write the word environment, with a meaning that encompasses: nature, other creatures, and of course our fellow humans. It is nearly not enough to acquire the so called "fruits of our labor" and not seek to appreciate and care for the very elements that have afforded these fruits.

First and foremost, the human creature has to seek to understand itself as the creator of the very reality of its existence. In such a state, this creature begins to take ownership in the successes and the mistakes it fosters. With this perceptive on self and an appreciation of the intricacies of its make up, a further enlightenment is revealed as to the nature of desiring the "fruits of our labor" (or the conveniences of our evolution). Such enlightenment will be that the things we desire are not the predicator of the happiness we seek in life; or that the meaning and purpose of our lives is not determined by the amassing of things of material value. But that happiness is a reality that exists within us and already lies dormant in the human spirit within. This is a realization that sets precedent to the fact that when wanting comes first, one can never have enough; but, when contentment is placed first, it matters not how much one has. Further, it is understood that that which we are wrongly thought to be the source of happiness –the possession of material wealth, is in fact subordinate to the spiritual wealth; a product of the inner-self. 

So, what is the cost of the evolution of man -and is it worth it? I write that such cost is indeed grand; for as is with anything of the creation of man, one is bound to find an equal dose of advantageous and disadvantageous outcomes. But in truth, it is not these things of the evolved man that are the causes of any regrets; but instead, it is the application of these things by the human creator itself that brings about these issues that perpetually hunt us. In another word, it is the primacy given to these exterior things of our creation over the priceless and invaluable properties of our inner-selves that sends us into the abyss of the rat race condition in which many of us find ourselves.

Though the cost of for our evolution is grand, should we prioritize the natural manifestation of our being; where our inner-selves is of much greater importance than the element of our outer-selves, we would than not be at the mercy of the products of our evolution. Rather, these things would be better enjoyed with the full understanding that they do not define the meaning of (or give purpose to) one's life.

These are my thoughts on such an interesting question; what say u?
