Yes, Ian, I agree about the bottom line – and not just for our own species. I do think words are important, particularly when they form the foundation and justification for a great deal of human behavior.
I also really appreciate that you have said what’s on your mind in such a thoughtful way. We need to do lots more of that if we are to address and begin to solve our problems on a personal and political level.
Interesting topic Monica, you mention that the Bible has influenced us for Millennia, how do we equate that with something like the Quoran which seems to have affected people for millennia.
Seems we can find books from antiquity that really are nothing more than codes of conduct for life, in the case of the Quoran it appears to be a handbook of war, I dont mean to be political Monica, just drawing comparisons, and we have the teachings of the Dalai Lama and Budda.
In this day and age we seem to be searching for answers based on historical words, when the bottom line is understanding, love, cooperation and mutual respect.
Kind regards
Ian
Thank you for this comment, Andro – I love it.
Some rides are instinctively
bumpy but we still enjoy the ride…
Have a lovely day today Monica 🙂
