Evolution

Hello fellow life lovers. Today I want to write about this world. This sounds really dramatic but you can actually learn from this big chunk of mud and water. What you can learn more from is the creatures that live on this dirt and in this water. They have made such a large journey that there is a lot of wisdom in it.

Group animals
The creatures on earth have always struggled to survive. In the beginnings there were animals that needed to outrun bigger animals or grow bigger than the other animals. Only the fastest, smartest or strongest survived. But then some of the smart animals thought of the concept of groups.. If you have 2 small animals they might win against 1 big animal right? So we earthlings became group animals.

Our current situation
What we have now is a huge group of humans as we call ourselves. We humans have become the kings and queens of the earth. We do not have to be scared of other animals and neither do we have to worry about food all too much (at least in Europe we do not). initially I thought of this as a problem, for when we are not in danger we are not evolving. And this thought has been holding me back for a long time. For when you think this you might start to create danger, for yourself and others. But the fact is that there are 2 ways we can still evolve.

As a person
For a person to become happy he needs multiple aspects in his or her life to be present. those are: Safety, after one is safe he can start to have feelings, then when one feels he can make an identity for himself, then he can start to love, then he will probably want to express himself and so on. But the fact that we do not  have to actively survive (hunt or battle) anymore enables us to go to the next steps easier. We can become a balanced person.

As a group
Now this other option is just as interesting. We can evolve as a group. We build technologies, we create new products and keep discovering new truths. As a group we still have to grow a lot to ensure survival. You can see this in a lot of things: the earth needs to be saved from pollution, there are a lot of people that still need to survive every day (in Africa for example) and also there is a lot that we do not yet know. But the biggest thing is that we still have conflicts. We are not yet one group, and the reason for that is that we do not want to give up our territories.

Now there is one thing we can do. And that is: first we need to become more balanced people ourselves. Then if we love all other people and ourselves we can start to form groups and then we can start making others to join our group. And I am already starting this but a lot of people are not so I say start loving, people!
