Reply #107: We are too focused on who is right and who is wrong [View All]

the only losers are the human race.

It's disgusting what well will do to one another over a scrap of land or idea, an exchange of words. We are to ego centric. we can't put aside our own pride long enough to understand and compromise with one another.

I've watched the war of words wage back and forth in DU. I've even been privy to a few exchanges myself, but what I've come to accept is humanity is both beautiful and heinous at the same time.
We waste so much time arguing about who is right and who is wrong, we forget that one invested interest that binds is OUR own fates as civilization.
If we are to survive in this Universe because as far as we know, we are unique (or at least a freak of nature). We are alone, we must be able to depend on one another. If we can not do that here in this forum, with like minded, intelligent people, I don't know how we will ever survive global warming.



I only hope out of all of this ugliness something new and hopeful is born, otherwise it was all for naught, and the bombs will just keep exploding and the earth will keep deteriorating.

Sorry to use your thread as sounding board Will, but my level of frustration is nearing its peak.
