On a ride to the Orlando International Airport today, I had the pleasure of conversing with an intelligent soul thiat is quite awake and intune with himself and his surroundings. As we were discussing world events such as economies, oil, human rights, wars, religion and climate/environment, he made the statement, "people think they control and have the final say on everything". In response, I blurted out, "that's the vanity of humanity". We both kind of looked at each other and agreed, "what a great statement, and, it pretty much sums it all up".
The vanity of humanity. People actually think they control what goes on with this planet. They think they have all the answers. We control the climate. We control all the resources. We control all the life forms. We control the people. We control just about everything. So we believe. However, we are no different than the Romans, Egyptians, Mayans and numerous other "gone" cultures and civilizations. And one day, we will be "gone" just like them because of our own "vanity". The problem with this "vanity" is that, while YOU think YOU are in control and running the show, the forces and powers that ARE running the show have completely "defragged and rebooted" and YOU had no idea what happened and why YOU no longer are.
The one sure fire way to NOT get caught and blindsided, keep an "opyn mind" and pay attention to what is going on. NOT just in your little bubble, but, what is going on planet wide. Socially, economically and environmentally. Don't let your "vanity" contribute to the end of "humanity".
"Opyn Mindz" Rule,
