I feel there is a certain irony with this blog. You'll see why.

I'd just like to get a grasp of what people feel about the human ego... It's pretty overblown with our exaggerated sense of self. I was just discussing it with someone and it would seem we're pretty pathetic compared to something like ants in that sense. Yet, even considering such a humble life style like the ant; something inside begins to burn at the slightest acknowledgment of anything hive-mind that strips us of our individuality. Yet, with that being said the question arises as to whether or not this is our correct placement. I've always pictured humans as a nomadic species like elephants. Our tribal cultures have been doing that since the beginning until some "western-type" society scares them into settling. Could this be our major downfall... The fact we no longer live a nomadic life style - giving way to false values that create false reasons for false structures.

See, I've always looked at the simple things in life as mental foundation builders such as gathering water from a river, making a house from scratch, gathering our own food by hand, using our bodies to survive. That deep interaction with nature that teaches us many values of what we now consider hard work such as patience, determination, focus, versatility - the building blocks for evolution.

Yet now we live in a society with false morals. Simple tasks such as carrying buckets of water which improves strength, balance, determination and stamina or starting a fire using sticks which improves patience, focus and clarity of mind, providing us with rich stimulus of mental maturity. Then, in turn with that maturity from the simple survival tasks, it gives us the ability to develop spiritually with these foundation values.

What happens when these things are no longer used? That's right. Look around you. Look what you are doing right now. I feel there will come a time where nature reclaims us and we're forced to look back on this journey of machine. We'll be forced to remember our true necessities and a symbiosis with nature will be reformed. From then we must merge the truth of nature and the discoveries of our machine culture into a new state of balance so the old will not be repeated. From this new state of balance, what we considered as mistakes will now become benefits for we had learned from them. Such instances only become an error when we decide to ignore it.
