My motivation is the survival and advancement of our species.
… These are thoughts that I have collected over many years.
… I have re-organized these with similar thoughts and into general categories.
The problem with any philosophical literature is that the author consciously or subconsciously attempts to persuade the reader.
… I do apologize if there is any feeling of persuasion. The purpose is not to persuade, but to make us all think how our actions not only affect the actions of others, but also will affect the actions of people not yet born.
… I will pose questions without answers and answers without questions.
My hope is not to preach, tell you how to act, treat others or think, but for you to realize beyond yourself and your children’s future and think for the future of all humanity forever. We must not only take responsibility for our actions, but the choices we give others that they will base their actions on. I personally think it is bad taste to dictate personal beliefs and wrong to force personal beliefs onto others, but I do want us to think about the long-term consequences and results of our actions and propose alternate views.
… Each small trivial individual action we take may seem insignificant at the moment, but each action we take affects the choices of the next. …
Each action we take affects the probability of each continuing action.
… With new perspectives we encounter, whether we agree with them or not, come new knowledge of the situation. New knowledge will either strengthen your views by “plugging holes” in the weakness of your current beliefs, or help your current views evolve and/or change. With new knowledge of a situation comes a healthier ability to see the projected outcomes of our individual or compiled actions.
Some say we are on the edge of the end of humankind. I am anxious that we are near the end of this age of humankind and/or society and setting on the precipice of the next. I am worried about our future. Some say this will be the last age of humankind. Some say the next one will be the last. I say we are on the edge of the end of this stage and the beginning of the next
… I say the next stage will be either the complete end of all or the last of humankind under our current definition and understanding of humankind.
… Either way, we must remember the choices we make today, (no matter how insignificant they seem on the future), will either expand or limit the ability and set the stage for the choices of the next.
I guess all of us ask ourselves, what is the point of it all? What am I supposed to do? Why am I here? I guess whatever people find to make their life complete they should follow through with. …
The common denominator in most of us.
We are shaped from the past.
Constrained by the present.
Anxious about the future.
