Hi Glove;
You write:
"...mankind will never be perfect, or even approach perfection, for
perfection is in the individual and not to be found in society... man and
woman may approach perfection in spirit and in action... indeed even become
perfection in spirit and action... but that perfection is something Dynamic
and unseen. There will always be war and poverty, crime and hate, just as
there will always be sharing and prosperity, Good deeds and love."
I hate to think there will always be war and poverty. That's like
thinking there is no final cure to AIDS. I'm wondering if mankind
will eventually slow down reproduction to the point that only a few
are left, that their knowledge and wisdom and care of one another
become so great that they live in something approaching perfection, and that "the history of
mankind project" falls like a ripe peice of fruit from the tree and is
successfully completed (the last of the humans dies with a smile on her face).
Is mankind just this social level or is it really everything that makes up
humanity including all of its perfect concepts like the wheel? Like
Jesus, I believe that the poor will always be with us. But "we" won't
be around for too long. It's very possible that mankind's decendants
will go as far beyond us as we have gone beyond the early primitive
humans.
