Weekly Blog #4

Considering i'm trying to cram in a bunch of blogs in a short amount of time, it makes it difficult to find topics to write about. Than I think about what really bugs me in the world and than I can usually think of something to rant about.

This topic is about the world as a whole society, and how we are stalled in our current development.

We see T.V. shows depicting America in the future, building spaceships to explore the infinite galaxy, curing diseases, cancers and virus's that are common today. People might speculate or wonder if they will ever see something like this in our near future, or if we will end up somewhere around there in our distant future. Its easy to say, for me at least, that we won't be there. Not now, or anytime soon.

The reason behind this in my own opinion is the simple fact that humans, as we are, tend to be selfish, trying to obtain wealth and power, which i can't say I don't try to, who doesn't love money, but the reason we have money is because of our own greedy needs.

In order for us to advance as a civilization, I know it sounds rediculous, but we need to stop with the arguments about religion, believe what you want to believe, we need to stop the petty bickering over resources and put asside this hunger for power that we seem to have.

Now i might not speak for everyone, there are a lot of selfless people in the world, but not enough to change it entirely. The whole world, every continent would need to come together under a united front. One world, one people.

Now in the beginning i'm sure it wasn't intentional, races developing in there own area's of the world, content. Than we explored, waged wars enslaved people based on skin color and have done some pretty terrible things. We are a destructive force and will most likley engulf ourselves in a huge conflict that in time will leave one super power behind, or an empty planet devoid of life of anytype.

I'm most likley placing my money on the latter, as with technology and nuclear power, wouldn't take more than a few button pushes to destroy the face of Earth and usher in the extinction of man. I would hope that I will be proven wrong in the far future, but as of now, we will never progress becuase of our basic instincts. We are human, we make mistakes, but I think its about time we learned from them and looked forward, otherwise eventually there will be no one to tell the stories, or hear the stories, just another lifeless hunk of rock hanging in the speck of light that makes up our galaxy.
