what is my desire to hurt, maim and/or kill...

i am truly fascinated by the range of human experience. considering the truly finite nature of human existence, the range of phenomenon involved in the human experience is impressive. the contrast with the infinite nature of the universe is far from being lost in such consideration. this contrast does not lessen the respect for the human attempt at emulating the nature of the universe.

the various black, white, & gray areas of humanly perceived reality that are bolstered by the manufacture, dispensation, & perpetuation of ideas are simultaneously disturbing & comforting. ideas such as community, common sense, common good, love, understanding, etc. usually violently coexist w/ideas such as individuals, ignorance, selfishness, hate, intolerance, etc. humans live & frequently die to fuel the human experience. so few have any interest, let alone understanding of the expansive scope of the human experience.

i believe my tuning of the universe is such that i have a much stronger perception of the totality of the experience. sadly, it is rare that studies of this experience are used to benefit the entire population of humans. the reasons are many, but it is extremely difficult not to look at them as excuses. how do humans justify the suffering of their fellow animal? of all the animals on this planet, in this reality, we tend to claim that we have the best ability to manipulate our experience. how is it that we allow so many to suffer?

questioning these behaviors generally tends to indicate just how finite the human animal really is. we make excuses and justify wrongs before going forward w/a willingness to change & grow. human history presents this case repeatedly w/predominantly negative results.

it's sad to have so much potential and to not realize it completely on purpose.

make like my dark side is not my human side w/o tuning the universe..

PEACE
...be calm...
