Say we are all born into the dark, into a world created by so many generations upon generations before us, that we have 'no hope in hell' of understanding how to go about this world without the teachings of those already consumed into the creation.
Instinct can tell you that to walk off a cliff is dangerous or that it may not be the best idea to rock up to a lion! It cant tell you that to sit in water with your radio may be about as dangerous as the edge of that cliff and about as bad of an idea as getting close to that lion. Infact relying on natural instincts alone, you are probably as likely to be as afraid of a hoover coming towards you as you are of a chain saw. Obv corse we all live an learn the hard way at times, u put ur finger in fire an u learn it burns. Unfortunatly the majority of life as we know it has developed to not be as black and white as that today, we need to be taught and educated. Guess we are lucky we have family, friend's, education and media to do that! Or are we?
It is very easy to forget that the majority of things we take for granted on a daily basis wouldnt be possible if so many human beings before us hadnt dedicated there life's work to progression for the human race. So many human beings gave there life's work so that you could flick a light switch and have electricity. Think about the magnitude of human beings who slaved day after day, year after year, to lay the train tracks across our planet. And it's almost impossible to imagine the number of people who did the backbreaking work of making the roads we drive on that form a connecting network of life for the world. So many aspect's of what we percieve as life are man made, yet we have never seen a world without them.
I heard someone compare the human race to a virus a few months ago. Just something to think about.
