RE: Humanity - Still A Barbaric Species?

in #life7 years ago

I am not quite sure if we improved on humanity - sure we do care a lot more now, or we at least know about it. But doesn't knowing about it also makes us kinda do things on purpose?

I am sure that a lot of people do strive for a better world, but also some people do not really care. Maybe we just developed different ways to express our violence. Maybe we didn't change at all, maybe we just adapted to the circumstances.

Sort:  

You bring up some really great points that have forced me to think about it yet again. The "doing things on purpose" because now we know about it is a real eye-opener! Thanks for this wonderful comment :)

I guess it's what I learned here in Asia. For example take something simple like the trash and the garbage - in some asian villages they do not have the facilities to get rid of trash (garbage trucks, I've been looking for a long time for a trashcan even), people have been throwing it on the ground for years and they've always seen your parents doing it.

However, in more modern locations (Cities or western locations), they do have the facilities, it is clean (most of the time lol), they have services and they were raised with even advertisements to throw their stuff in the trashcan. There's a trashcan every 30 meters at least.

Then, if you still decide to throw it on the ground, it is definitely on purpose. Some people don't know any better. Some people do, and still don't care.

Oh, I am sure you must have learned a lot in Asia, especially India. LOL!! It's a different kind of world altogether where different elements of civilisation exist at the same place and time. Like, you could be at a very posh place in India and still see a cow nearby! lol

Oh, I did! A complete different world, haha! Also some things just fell into place and with other things.. well, just accept them!

Like, you could be at a very posh place in India and still see a cow nearby!

Oh definitely! Those are E V E R Y W H E R E!

LOL, I am glad you are having these different experiences. Life is all about seeing what's out there and to enjoy and have fun! :D
