Why did human kind have to evolve this way

[hades_leae]

We have evolved in a way that no other species on this planet can ever attain, or probably at least in our life time, and for the next few millennials. We have accumulated many great things over time, but we also have human error.


All the crime that happens around the planet, the dictatorships, wars, warlords, corruption. It makes me wonder if this is the destined future for human-kind. We don't really have leaders for our species, I feel like we are stuck in time, and never really moving towards any better methods of human civilizations.


People are content with the way of life that we have currently. People want to be famous, they want to be known, achieve success in society and more. We stopped evolving, and started making everything adapt to us. We own this planet, but we are not advancing this planet.


We are destroying Earth, and seem to be doing nothing about it on a permanent level. People complain about national problems, but don't fix them on a nation level.


Where is this species going to be in 100 years? Donald Trump says we are going to hell haha. Funny man.

If we look at the headlines and the TV news, it does seem like mankind is slipping further into darkness. But, those sources of information have their own agenda and it is not an agenda which serves the greater good. They exist to sensationalize and catch our attention so they can make money.


If you want to know what is going on, you have to learn how to discern truth. To discern truth you have to engage your heart in the process of discernment. Observe the whole picture of what is going on, not just the sensationalized news stories and you might begin to feel that something wonderful is happening to mankind.


For instance, have you noticed that there are hardly any dictators left in the world? Have you noticed that for the first time in a very long time, a man with integrity stepped forward and ran for the office of president of the U.S.? Have you noticed that the young people are supporting his ideas of peace and unity and social responsibility and compassion?


Another amazing advancement is also right in front of our noses. In a world that is sooo well connected, it has become very difficult to keep secrets. So, one horrible secret after another is spilling forth into our collective consciousness and it IS causing a lot of people to call for reform and justice. This is a very good sign that people are waking up and things will be changing for the better. When you shine a light into a dark basement, those critters that live in the dark... scatter and run. They don't like the light. This is the same thing you are seeing in the world now. The light of truth and compassion is being shone into the dark secret corners of government and politics. Before lasting change can happen there must be a house cleaning and a period of reckoning. This is happening now. But, do not fear. Eventually, love will have it's way with this planet. If you don't believe me, just watch the young people. They will lead us forward.. and upward!

Honestly, I don't agree with this. It seems like the world is so much worse now than it was before, but actually, no, we're living the most peaceful times in civilization. There are shitty things happening, obviously, nothing is ever perfect, and this is a common misconception of why people support radical socialism, because they think it will solve everything, but the fact is: we haven't found a flawless government solution yet. But that doesn't change the fact that we're living the most peaceful time on earth. Poverty has never been lower, criminality has never been lower. I think the biggest problem with the world today is terrorism, ISIS is spreading like wildfire, but as far as I've heard, they're the only group that's actually creating chaos. Back in the day murder wasn't so punishable like it is today, police forces are stronger than ever, we're able to solve crimes and punish the criminals like never before. So although I do think the world is still really shitty, I don't think we're any closer to destroying the world.

This is more of a philosophical debate, but I do feel that humanity can be very cruel and people do choose their actions. I actually have my own blog where I write about humanity and morals, but this is more than politics and power. Human traits such as greed sadly exist and will continue to do so, and so will wars as long as land and power exists. The only answer is to negotiate, but you can only negotiate with those who are willing to listen and many do not.


One must look at the knowledge and experiences of others in the world before they can say the world is not poor and is peaceful I have seen poverty and disarray on my travels around the world. There are many people that starve or live hand to mouth and that is village life for many in India, Nepal and other countries. There is no need for such poverty but it exists because of corrupt governments.


The fact is today people have more knowledge and access to things like healthcare and education, but crimes are still committed, so human nature doesn't change. We as humans can determine how society evolves, and to me it's not evolving well. If I was a teacher I would mark it as 'Could do better.'

The peace and order in our world depends on how we humans are doing within ourselves and to other people. Even a country had a good leadership in the government but its citizens are the ones who are violating the laws then crimes and violence will surely spread around. If we humans will not change we will surely destroy peace to mankind and to the world.

It's all about greed and selfishness. That's what the control of the world is all about and I could go very deep into this topic, it's something I know a lot about but if I told you what I know, you wouldn't like it at all and it wouldn't make you feel any better. The truth is that we have been intentionally cut off from our true essence which is nature. We are constantly being controlled, conditioned and programmed by an elite group of people. It's about the minority having control over the majority. This is being done through the programming of the collective unconscious of humanity. Everything you see in the newspapers, everything you see on television or hear on the radio, every situation you find yourself in and every law that you have to abide to is all a form of subliminal persuasion and influence which allows those few to maintain control over the many. They have information about the true nature of reality that they don't want people knowing. If you become a free thinker or step outside of the box then you are ridiculed and persecuted for it. They don't want you knowing how to manifest your desires or knowing how the power of universe can work to your advantage. From the Law of Attraction to Astral Projection, it's all very real and this can be used to their advantage if they keep it all behind closed doors. We are a narcissistic species and have become too focused on service-to-self (narcissism) instead of service-to-others (empathy). If we were all empaths (or empathists) then all the world's resources would be shared and there wouldn't be a problem. This is what needs to change.

It's not about us destroying the world now, it's what we are leaving behind for our kids. We are leaving behind many problems. While you may be right that we're living in more peaceful times than in the past, nationally selectively, we have more deaths than ever in human history, we just have a larger population than we used to which could make it seem like the numbers were much worse in human history.


The international community is worse off as far as finances than it was decades ago which is where the real problem occurs. Just because it doesn't have a major affect right now, the peace will remain until a broken financial system decided to reveal itself.
