This is not a history. Just a few items on the problems of being human. We love to believe in "success". Ours and others we love to promote.
The problem with "success" it can mean whatever we want it to mean. Which is mostly in my opinion, power. Proof of our power.
But I have come to the conclusion it's a record of "greatness" according to this creatures ego. And that is the problem.
For the sake of my ego I believe humanity is destroying our planet. It records its achievements by monetary wealth. Yes we have people who have great courage like those who survived Auswich and who see progress as our ability to look at our big mistakes.
Racism. Watching the despair unfold in the US. The automatic assumption that the top of the human race is the white man.
I don't feel bad or guilty for what the USA is doing to humanity. I feel bad when I fail to do the right thing.
It's a trap in my brain. Not a mistake. I feel bad when I have made the wrong decision.
I know I am NOT superior to others based on my education, my attempts at presenting myself as trustworthy, my habits or beliefs.
FORGET SUPERIORITY IN ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING!.
Humility and respect for others comes first. No-one cares how morally superior this old woman named Janet Vickers has become. She never made it as Danielle or Washahid. They inspire comfort to me as I mourn for my own attempts to save the world.
All I know is racism is evil, struggling to win in the superiority game is destructive to my ego. So I keep trying to love others. That's all.
I love people. I hope for their success. And I will try over and over again to care for humanity with the help of my friends and family.
