What do I see?

When I look around at nature, science and what has been accomplished in the past, it reminds me of our failure in the present to provide for the future.

Architecture, Space Exploration, Medical Research, and Providing for the Common Defense have all been evolving, progressing but ever failing to address the fundamental issues that will actually destroy the human race. The fact that in our arrogant ego-centric cocoons we don't believe there will ever be an end to civilization (used loosely) as we know it contributes to the lack of concern or commitment to change. Change is scary; Different is scary.

Let's blame everything and everyone, but do nothing ourselves to change anything. Utter ignorant brilliance. Brilliant in that it gets you personally uninvolved and that is what most people want, but ignorant because honestly we all need each other and in our efforts to avoid and detach...the community falls apart and it becomes survival of the fittest individuals rather than the healthiest communities (how funny that the greater good is always played down to a personal level). Greater good isn't actually subjective, but everyone manages to interpret it as such.
