Wow....when the folks on this forum don't even get what I'm saying, now I'm scared; you guys understand me better than anyone else, and even you're being sucked into the vacuum of "within the box" that the majority of others I've tried to explain this to did.
When I said "downtimes", I wasn't necessarily referring to war...I was actually referring to economically, and in many cases even times of mass ignorance, barbarism, and faith-based belief, such as the Dark Ages.
I never said humans were by nature evil or anything...I said they're run by emotion over logic, for the most part.
True change scares the living &^%$ out of most people, as they're already perfectly comfortable with their lives...they just want to complain to feel important.
Now that I believe that I've seen the "forest for the trees", I feel so free it's uncanny. It all just makes so much sense to me, now...
I also showed my argument to my boss at work....he LOVED it.

Yet another deligthfully humble post from the Doctor82.
Your powers of self-appraisal are unmatchable.
keep working on the new philosophy.....
I ain't humble dude, and I never said I was. You want humble? Listen to how Ivan Boesky described the greatness of greed...it was humble alright...and utterly weak and pathetic, to boot.
I stand by the things I believe in, whether or not everyone agrees with me. And I will defend them thru and thru.

The realization is the most important part; don't let the reaction of others lessen how you feel... enjoy the clarity and work to incorporate the understanding into your daily life. I think the recognition that humanity is driven by conflicting and erratically charged forces is something to work from.

and I'm not letting it lessen how I feel; just trying to better clarify my ideas is all..maybe even inspire some people.
The best inspiration I have witnessed is by those who do rather than speak; I am glad that you're not letting yourself be affected. Spend some time with your thoughts, I'm curious to hear a little more about the logic/emotion dichotomy between nature and man that you describe.

I totally hear ya on that...I believe in playing the cards you preach. I will gladly share more of my thoughts with you...but at the immediate moment I gotta run, as my business partner and I are now about to work on our '08 taxes.

I don't mean to come off as a brash douchebag if I do. Am I quite the smart@$$ ? No questions asked, but quite possibly the main reason I might come off as such regarding what I said is due to how I just recently picked up on it; I still stand by it, I might just need to polish it a bit.
It's all good though...my boss told me to write a column; I told him I'm planning to eventually write a book on it.
