The universe is vast
The resources of the universe are vast and so is the human resource. Within each human being is a resource so great that it transcends his physical limitations. I am talking of the human spirit which is great and vast as the vastness of space. It is the human spirit that has conquered the great mountains that divide humanity. The conquest of the vast oceans that were sailed by tiny, puny reed vessels and other vessels made of wood were powered by that great spirit that refused to be cowed by anything, not even treacherous waters . Every day we hear of heroic feats performed by ordinary human beings in the face of unimaginable catastrophe. In the same breath we hear of efforts of other human beings who dig deep into their vast human resouorces to conjure up more and more horrific methods of sowing terror in the minds of other human beings while physically blowing to pieces the victims as well as the bombers.
Very clearly we see one side cancelling the other out. No wonder that there is no Utopia in this world. The war on terror is an example of how one portion of humanity tries to cancel out the other part not thinking that Humanity is one and indivisible.This great battle is waged not only outside by people with opposing ideas and ideologies but also within the individual himself. The great human spirit wages a war inside each individual and this war is all about himself. Should he do what is right? Should he give in to some easy way and somehow lose his integrity? The daily battles waged by individuals within themselves result in the big battles that are waged by groups of individuals against other groups of individuals.
That the reason for the strife is something like nationalism, religion, ideology, way of life is immaterial. What matters is that the inability of a human being to reconcile his own personal demons results in these demons to be unleashed on the general public. How can we talk of the ideal world when the ideal personal existence is not there? A person may be rich and powerful, someone who is daily praised and emulated. Does anyone know what goes on inside him? Does anyone know the demons he is battling? If the demons of negativity wins out then maybe the public will find that out when he blows his brains out with a gun much like Richard Corey.
Obviously, we cannot talk of the big things without talking about the small things. We cannot talk about the world and what is the ideal without talking about the individual and how to realize the vast potential which the human spirit affords each and every ndividual.
