  A comment on Conversation: what are we doing wrong nowadays?

  Aug 7 2011: The wide gap between rich and poor. Dependence on oil. Special interests influence on governments. More wars. The prevalent attitude the might makes right. Inability for our governments to work together toward peaceful solutions. Tolerating cheats.
  Reliving the religious wars of centuries past. Too much attention to the extremists and not enough to the common citizen.
  Behaviors that destruct our finite natural resources.

  A reply on Conversation: comments

  Jul 7 2011: When you ponder on the fact that 7 billion years ago the Earth formed, eventually, our atmosphere existed. It took billions of years of life to bring us to where we are today. Knowing about the complexities of life on our planet only makes me appreciate all life more than ever before in my life. God, no God. Life is still sacred and mysterious. Why would someone who doesn't worship a God have less awe and joy?
