I realize I took a rather dark view of what informs the human heart in my previous post. I of course should have added love and compassion, ecstasy and joy, tenderness and friendship, tolerance and understanding, and so forth. I suppose this almost unconscious neglect of the positive side of the human heart reveals my feelings for the most part regarding the future of our species, but there is some rationale to justify this focus on the dark side of human reality in our Ethical life: it is in the dark moments of the human heart, where momentous Ethical decisions are often made, that a turning away from Evil is the most difficult!<BR>
<BR>
There is still time for our species to turn away from war and violence and hatred as a solution to the human condition.<BR>
<BR>
But not much time, I suspect, if we are to avoid a very ugly future for humanity.<BR>
