If You Work Hard And

Children Can Change The World.

I Do Not Want To Discuss Evolution In Such Depth, However, Only Touch On It From My Own Perspective: From The Moment When I Stood On The Serengeti Plains Holding The Fossilized Bones Of Ancient Creatures In My Hands To The Moment When, Staring Into The Eyes Of A Chimpanzee, I Saw A Thinking, Reasoning Personality Looking Back. You May Not Believe In Evolution, And That Is All Right. How We Humans Came To Be The Way We Are Is Far Less Important Than How We Should Act Now To Get Out Of The Mess We Have Made For Ourselves.

People Say, "oh, We Ought To Fight For Animal Rights." We Fought For Human Rights, But Even If Humans Have Rights, They Can Still Be Horribly Abused And Are Every Day. You Don't Have To Go To Some Far Off Land, Far Away Place; We Have A Lot Of Child Abuse In Our Own Society.

Cultural Speciation Had Been Crippling To Human Moral And Spiritual Growth. It Had Hindered Freedom Of Thought, Limited Our Thinking, Imprisoned Us In The Cultures Into Which We Had Been Born. . . . These Cultural Mind Prisons. . . . Cultural Speciation Was Clearly A Barrier To World Peace. So Long As We Continued To Attach More Importance To Our Own Narrow Group Membership Than To The ‘global Village’ We Would Propagate Prejudice And Ignorance.

And I Thought How Sad It Was That, For All Our Sophisticated Intellect, For All Our Noble Aspirations, Our Aggressive Behavior Was Not Just Similar In Many Ways To That Of The Chimpanzees - It Was Even Worse. Worse Because Human Beings Have The Potential To Rise Above Their Baser Instincts, Whereas Chimpanzees Probably Do Not.
