After viewing Tom Shadyac's documentary, I Am

iamthedoc.com -- all life contains argon atoms and our genes are all genes: "What was said to the rose to make it open was said to me." Rumi

 

 

Nature displays this universal law:
that cooperation more than competition is innate

How humans reversed this truth
proves the falseness that we now make

For it dismays us in our state of awe
over success more than compassion's wake

That humans have not reversed this spoof
which shows us the new direction to take.

The problem with humans is that we were given free choice and that shaped everything around us. Well done, Diana

Amen, I wish this to be heard throughout the world. I guess we will have to sing it everywhere we go.

mankind reflects both the creative genius of the universal mind as well as the chaotic levels of its intrinsic design ... chaos and order compose all and all exists as composition of everything ... the ultimate truth, the human mind cannot conceive only god-consciousness can reveal ...

Does the "survival of the fittest" work in tandem with natural ecology or against it? Even in this I think they work together and it is only humans on the face of this earth, perhaps, who work against such innate cooperations and tolerances. Our adulation of our warped ideals of "success" which is contingent on greed (in the broadest sense of the word) will definitely be our downfall. In nature perhaps only weeds and disease are "greedy", which just about says it all. Power packed into just 8 lines, Diana - and expertly so. xx

cooperation is not established by conditioning or learning - I'm convinced - and it is not hereditary. I'm inclined to believe (as you postulate with the word 'innate') that it is part of a master design (not yet fully realized by humans) that we find grand evidences of in nature. Interesting.

Perhaps the viewing of this documentary is actually needed in order to see the meaning behind the second line here. I'm seeing that, yes, it is needed. What a human interest film this was! Thank you for your comments :) Keep writing everyone! It makes the world go around the sun....... ~~ Diana

Diana,
very interesting and well versed but i have to concur with those previous to me, as much as i love nature cooperation between all of them is non existant.

The spoofs are out in legion. Why do we insist on our own destruction, when the path we should take is crystal clear.

Many do not wish to cooperate this is nothing new. It's all for one now darlin' and very sad. Even if you try to help another you are publicly shamed for being a good soul. I echo Jerry, even roses will bring blood. In particular those pretending to be a rose



Great write pointing out what society is missing



Love and Light

Haha! Tell the water buffalo about cooperation as a pride of lions bring it down and eats it alive. I guess you could say that the lions cooperate in the take-down and feast. I hear what you are saying Diana, but nature is basically cruel. Even roses will bring blood.
