People Are Waking Up

I thought this article was concise, well-written and inspiring.

"We are social animals; we crave connection and community; we crave a wide, encompassing identity that connects us with all of humanity – not just our friends and family, not just our city, our country, our species – but every living being on Earth: plant, animal, human."

It is similar to Jung's idea of the collective unconscious but also acknowledges our society's tendency to be selfish.

I skimmed the comments and saw this gem: "How many times have you watched Avatar?"

I tend to believe that people on the whole don't really change, they might just get more or less educated; or more or less persuaded by their environment. Ultimately we will always be selfish; that is to say our basic needs always come first.

Kind of an Op-ed sort of piece without any scientific backing which is unfortunate. I've regained a lot of hope but not for the human race... yet. I'm still open to the possibility... but mostly we suck cock.

I think that the experiences I've had (especially being a therapist in a prison for a year) have really given me a more optimistic outlook. That sounds strange, I know. I just have had lots of opportunities to see people in such personal ways and I see it as impossible for me to not believe in humanity.

I guess you could argue the opposite with the same type of statement.

That article isn't really scientific, Nicole. You're right. But Carl Jung's research on a similar topic is insane.
