My life experience -- with tending the dying, attending funerals, reading headlines and history for decades-- shows me things don't change over the years within human nature. <strong> Hi Robin,</strong> Your comments reminds me of the words "To boldly go where no one has gone before," and I have seen quantum leaps in creative innovations and in understanding why we are the way we are, but I don't see quantum leaps in overcoming our less desirable sides. I just heard about a domestic violence situation that makes my stomach turn, and of another child whose house is filled with rats -- this is in the US. I've realized that for everything wonderful you or I can do or see or say or write, a thousand atrocities will still occur on this planet. But that is not a reason for me to despair.

Thanks for that clarification!

Hi Vered,
I think youth does tend to have a more positive outlook, and I’m glad for that. My life experience — with tending the dying, attending funerals, reading headlines and history for decades– shows me things don’t change over the years within human nature.

Hi Robin,

Hi Ulla,
Everyone has a unique perspective, that’s for sure! I value voices that resonate with or uplift or educate me, too.

Of course, a lot of people sometimes / often just repeat what has already been said. But the ones I like to read are people with a unique voice, and often I learn quite a lot from them - even if the content seems to be the same.

I believe our group consciousness is evolving upwards (though not necessarily individuals), and that the new levels of awareness are giving us what we call "the new age". I believe it is all changing, and it is our choice whether we want to jump on for the ride. It saddens me greatly to see people say there is nothing new - I think it's a cop-out, actually (many people prefer their comfort zone, even death, to growth).
