It is on occasions that we conflict with the fundamentals of our lives. Who are we? What am I doing? Why am I here? For what purpose am I to serve? Why does the world not agree with me?
Why do we, as humans seek to know the essence of our existence? For exploration? For understanding? To better ourselves? Make us more worldly?
I think not..it is for greed. We generally associate greed with financial gains and have tagged it to a corporate culture based on a bottom line. But greed is not as bad as have made it out to be. All progress has been created on the backs of the individuals who were courageous enough to become comfortable with their own greed and then feed it. The issue arises when we become embarrassed by our greed; it makes us feel inadequate and arrogant.
But is human exploration, the attempt to understand what our species IS, and what it can withstand…arrogant? Is LOVE, complete LOVE, arrogant? Well, yes….because it makes us proud to have that someone or something.
