Compared with animals, our instincts are hugely blunted, allowing our thoughts to override them for the sake of a longer term goal.
This faculty makes it possible to do both greater good and greater evil than any animal.
Yet we still, all of us, have tendencies towards greed, anger, and ignorance, which can get the better of us if we let them.
No babe is born good or evil. Primary care givers and environment program how the mind develops. But the brain and character are flexible, and as adults we can choose and become proactive in developing in positive ways.

if we don't learn to humble ourselves ,seek God and Pray
we don't stand a snow balls chance in hell
and if we do not care about our own lives
we should care about the kids we brought into such a screwed up world
so is the solution to simple ?
or are we just that ignorant and arrogant ?
even France had enough sense to see back in 541 what a mistake they made trying to get rid of God
I know some will argue the point ,but history tells the story

@rckt148: So the answer is humility ?

@JoshuaCo19: Humility before God
He said if we humble ourselves ,seek His face and pray He will hear from heaven and heal our land
at this point ,anything is worth a shot ,can we stand for it to get worse ?
I just happen to know He keeps His promises
and He also does not make idle threats
If we can't see the signs of the times spoken of by Christ are not here,
we prefer to be ignorant
We will see a big bang ,while the world is talking peace peace ,bang ,
He will return when they said the Master was not coming
and many who thought they knew Him (believeth in me )
are going to hear "Depart ,,I never knew you "
Even the Church has got so spiritual minded ,they are of no earthly good
if the Holy Spirit was in as many Church's as brag they hear from Him
We would all hear the same message ,we would not be divided
and the works and signs would follow
they do not hear what stumbling blocks are told to do to themselves
and how serious it is to want titles ,positions of power ,
they have a form of Godliness ,but God was never in the building
they grieved the Holy Spirit the minute men began saying "God said "
and God never told them to say anything ,,
Now all He wants to hear is a repentance ,and a country sorry we kicked Him out

I think the only thing that really made humans different from all the other animals was our ability to have empathy for others. Studies have proven , that sine the internet came into being, most humans no longer have this ability. My opinion is that if humans completely lose the ability to have empathy for others there will no longer be human nature. There will only be animal nature and humans will no longer be better than animals. It is the inevitable future in my opinion.

hi JoshuaCo19
Each person lives on a spectrum from terrifying to awe inspiring and greatness can be found in simple lives and meaningless in rich lives. Potential is unlimited but both for good and ill. Humans never stops surprising, horrifying and amazing us all. We are both individuals and also share a collective hive mind. Endlessly fascinating.
Best wishes

@Peekaboo: I agree with you. But I'd like to think the far grander scale enables us to feel some human empathy and compassion. And I don't believe in religion.
