i'm so with you ladym. i think what you are doing is taking a large look over how we are, why are we that way, what could we improve... you're asking questions, rallying, offering up your ideas... i think that is human conscience evolution in action...

survivors understand that to never give in, is to never lose... you are not giving in to what has affected you, maybe caused some pain for you, and/or what you've observed has caused pain for others...

Buddha said life is to suffer... then he went on to explain a whole lot more... part of which is that there is an escape from suffering and the way he went about doing that was to raise himself first...

clearly you have held this opinion awhile.. it is formed and it takes courage to look in the mirror... now you are offering help, seeking help... it is a great act...

change with progress can combine and form ascension... with right leaders, right times, right conditions... is humanity there?... it is always there... it is what our history consists of... change and progress.. a favorite poem of mine says "everywhere are heroes" and it is true... spirited people like you make waves that reach outward... similar to the archtypes...

thank you for using your mind..
