If not everything, then quite a lot. One only has to look at history and current events or even just drive on the freeway to see that humans are the cause of a lot of misery.
From observation and experience, I'd say the world, with facets of beauty and love notwithstanding, is a rather corrupt and messed up place. I'd say the same about the human heart and condition. I'd also say the former proceeds from the latter.
- dsign 4y ago"Corrupt" is a human notion, nature doesn't exist by our concepts. One has to look at history to learn that albeit the human condition is messed up, it is less so these days of what it used to be. And no, the faults of the world are not ours; thinking otherwise is dearth of humility.
- theonething 4y ago> "Corrupt" is a human notion What does that mean? Everything is a human notion. Are you saying corruption doesn't really exist because it's merely a human notion? Whatever, but sex trafficking, Uighur concentration camps, Putin's invasion of Ukraine, these are all evil, corrupt, wrong, bad, choose your terminology. > the faults of the world are not ours; thinking otherwise is dearth of humility. You're saying humankind taking responsibility for the evil we've committed is an example of lack of humility? I would think quite the opposite.
