Observing entropy - #24 Waking Life "Progress"
Source An example of Entropy: (Light Waves through a Prism)
There are two kinds of sufferers:
Those who suffer
from a lack of life...
...and those who suffer from
an overabundance of life.
I've always found myself
in the second category.
When you think of it, almost all
human behavior and activity...
...is essentially no different
from animal behavior.
The most advanced technologies
and craftsmanship bring us at best...
...up to the super-chimpanzee level.
Actually, the gap between, say, Plato
or Nietzsche and the average human...
...is greater than between that
chimpanzee and the average human.
The realm of the real spirit...
...the true artist, the saint, the
philosopher, is rarely achieved.
Why so few?
Why is world history and evolution
not stories of progress...
...but an endless and futile
addition of zeros?
No greater values have developed.
Hell, the Greeks 3000 years
ago were just as advanced as we are.
What are the barriers
that keep people...
...from reaching anywhere near
their real potential?
The answer to that can be found in
another question, and that's this:
Which is the most universal
human characteristic?
Fear...
...or laziness?

If it is an issue posting this regardless of mentioning who this material belongs to, I will stop posting altogether.
Thanks.
