Why can't people realize we are all one.

Science proves it, our DNA proves it, all living things are connected. If all would come to understand this we might have a shot at peace and even survival.

    Apr 17 2012: This is not a new concept, why is everyone argueing? I never would have posted it if I thoght this was going to happen.The idea was to bring us together not seperate us.

      Apr 19 2012: Perhaps we have different ideas, values, beliefs, and we all think we are right (or closer to right).
      Perhaps part of your answer to the original question is in this.
      We seem to be competitive even with ideas.

      Throw in our selfish side, tribalism etc - we end up individuals and tribes in conflict.

      Sometimes, it is darkest just before the dawn. We need to let the wind of conversation blow itself over before everyone can understand, but there is some people who are just cynical and is self centric. Be compassionate towards these people and maybe you could melt their hard exteriors, but no one is perfect. =)

        I will take them with me as I go about my day.

        I will log out now, because I want to let your thoughts be the last thing I read on TED this morning.

        Thank you = )
