The Unknown Factor

The human mind is amazing. Evolved from survival to being the dominant creatures of this small, blue planet, nestled among billions of stars. Within this tiny world, we wage wars for land, power, and wealth. Sometimes, we call it patriotism or other names, but the underlying motivations often remain the same.

I’m not here to rehash history, but to ponder the future. In countless texts, humanity has been symbolically represented, revealing the nature of our species. The Hominid category once held many species, but only one survived, evolved, and persists today. Despite this, we continue to engage in pointless pursuits, driven by materialistic desires and superficial gains.

A few visionary individuals have sought to change the world, to liberate humanity, and to create a safer society. Their visions, though noble, have often been distorted and commercialized. These once-pure teachings have become products, manipulated and exploited for profit.

Religious leaders and spiritual guides have capitalized on these visions, attracting followers and amassing wealth. Blind faith has led many to sacrifice their lives and values, often in the name of these distorted ideals.

The human mind, with its inherent flaws and biases, seeks meaning in the unknown. We create theories and beliefs to justify our actions, no matter how irrational or harmful they may be.

My message is simple:
 * Follow your vision, but question it critically.
 * Don’t blindly follow people,  be reasonable on your beliefs. 
 * Be responsible for your own actions and the impact they have on others.
 * Strive to be good. Be a human before representing a group.

We are but fleeting visitors to this tiny planet. Let us use our time wisely, explore the mysteries of life, and treat all living beings with compassion and respect.
