Change for the better: Criticism

Most changes are caused by criticism. This is true because if you are doing something right, unless you think it must be changed for the better, you do nothing about it. Criticism helps a person realize their actual actions vs. what they believe their actions are.

People don’t like criticism because it is focus on their  negative attributes. The way I see it, criticism is another persons view of you; likely a view that you fail to see because you are inside the box. One thinks himself to be good, and in so doing, fail to see their own actions. We fail to see ourselves as imperfect.

What's the different between criticism and constructive criticism?

What we want

Our brain tells us what we want. How reliable is our brain when it has not experience everything? How does one know what kind of life he or she wants unless they have experienced it all?

We do not know what we want thats why we often enjoy what is given to us. What we want changes with time or according to situations. For example, a lot of children do not like vegetables, but end enjoying it a lot more as adults.

Religion

Religion is necessary because it helps man find his way when he questions the meaning of life. Without spiritual guidance, meaning of life is left in science hands. That meaning exposes all being as only reproductive organisms with no other purpose...

You - Man - E.T.

There is not such thing as humanity. On this Earth roams only animals. Animals with no intelligence and animals with intelligence, but mostly, just animals. We chose for ourselves a better word to separate us from animals; We call ourselves humans.

We are animals and that is the only fact. From eating other animals, to fighting for territory, from harming other defenseless animals (even those of our own species), to genocide.

We amuse ourselves by telling ourselves that we are the only species to evolve from savage beings. The truth is that the savageness is still in us. We keep it inside, trying to be rid of it so that we can fit into society. We fail to realize that society is just an idea; a word that makes us think and/ or feel like we are superior beings. Are we superior beings? Society is not different from other words such as herds, fleet, shoal, or bask.

In my opinion, we are not superior. When one can sit and watch another suffer and not interfere, or only interfere when it comes to those they love. How can a grown man lay down a toddler and force them into adult situations. How can a mother watch her kids be violently handled or worse inject them with virus, or even worse stick them into a microwave and hit the start button. What about mass murder? Are we better than any animal that kills just for the sake of killing, for territory, or for power?

We are in the year 2010. If we are truly developing (as assume ourselves better than, or smarter than other species, then why do we continue to repeat our mistakes?
