The Lazy Rain

I sit today by a window writing this entry.  The rain is trickling down the window pane in lazy lines.  The past few weeks have seen such violence and pain wrought on the world, yet all I see is a call to arms to prolong the suffering of the masses.  Why do so many seek to create misery for those weaker than them.  Is it systemic of our evolution that the strong survive and thrive?

We see the world through a lens of perceived civility.  But is civility what made modern humans powerful or was it survival of the fittest?  Are we just fooling ourselves into thinking we can be a civilized society.  Are we on our way up or down?

Collectivism is the natural course of evolution.  We started as a loose conglomeration of tribes, we graduated to villages, towns and finally cities.  From there we created states, nation's and unions, it is  a surprise to me that people are fighting globalism and monopolies.  These are the natural courses we as species have always taken and must continue to take.  I cannot say where this road will lead but by prolonging the inevitable we are in turn prolonging the suffering of the masses.  I know how this sounds and I myself hate the idea of a collectivized world of one government and one corporation, but this is an inevitability we cannot avoid.  We must then ask ourselves the question of where this will lead our race. What is the end?  What is the finality of our species when we achieve the state of pure collectivism.

Once this state is achieved our society may very well crumble.  Completion is important for the advancement of knowledge and technology.  War has been a driving force in human technological advancement since the beginning of our time on this planet.  So the question is, when there is no more competition, will we die out?

That brings us back to the ideas of the strong taking advantage of the weak.  This is a trait in our evolutionary pattern that weeds out those who cannot propagate the species. If all the weak took over, society would crumble.  We must have strength as a species to advance and evolve.  I wish we could live in a world where this was not a necessity but it is.  From the bully in school to the dictator on the hill, this brutality has pushed us forward as a species.  It is a necessary evil and when we lose it we may very well lose what made us the dominant species.
