Human Nature IS To Defy Nature

Mother Nature did not create Penicillin Trees.

If we allowed ourselves to be defined by our physical limitations as the other animals,
than we would been fairly low in the predator/prey pecking order.

====

Our brains are natural, and it is our powerful brains, the most powerful in nature, which allow us to do all we do, which is natural, to us.

- HOWEVER -

Human beings are part of the natural world, and,

"Defying Nature DOES NOT Mean Destroying It."

Nature has much to teach us,
as we have much to teach Nature.

...perhaps we can give the gift of sentience to other creatures on the planet...

Talking Dogs.
Marine Biologist Dolphins.

Maybe plants can teach us Humans how to use photosynthesis to provide for our own energy needs and we can teach this to other animals.

As Soon As You Give Penicillin To Someone, You Are Defying Nature."

Magic Is Only Magic, Until You Know The Trick.

"Magic Is Only Magic, Until You Know The Trick." - David Julio Wang

When presented with something currently beyond comprehension, human beings tend to provide mystical and magical explanations for things so that they can feel some semblance of control, the feeling of control being necessary to have some measure of security and quiet for corporeal forms which require rest and restoration.

But, behind magical explanations for phenomenon, lie empirically based and reproduceable processes.

Once human beings achieve this state of understanding, they are prepared to mature beyond mystical explanations for things, because they "understand" and with understanding, ignorance and superstition can be set aside.

A : "Then what is hope?"

Me : "Hope is important when a person feels but does not yet know how to reach a goal. The goal is achievable, but it is as yet only a feeling or instinct without clear course of action, but such a course of action is forthcoming. That is hope."

Vega (Operacion Triunfo 2)

My quote above recalls a song by Vega from 2003, a Spanish singer from the Spanish equivalent of American Idol.

Quiero Ser Tu, Quiero Ser Yo
I want to be you, I want to be me
Si solo uno, hecho de dos
Only one, who's made of two
Aqui o alli, donde tu estes
Here or there, wherever you are
Tu Esperaras, yo esperare
You'll wait, and I'll wait
No hay nada mas despues de ti
There's nothing else after you
Que hacer si tu no estas aqui
What can I do if you're not there
Cuidando de mi
Taking care of me?

====

Basically the song is an affirmation by Vega of the fact that ultimately she is the only one who will ever truly be there for her.

Talking To Yourself

It is an interesting phenomenon, talking to oneself.
Everyone does it.
Strange isn't it?
After all, you are yourself.
Why then would you need to talk to yourself?

Simple.
Because one individual is infinitely complex.
There is so much going on in a single person that often it is necessary to address oneself as a 2nd person to be able to pose enquiry into the vast sum of knowledge and idea that a single individual is possessed of.

"I Don't Even Know, What I Know."

A common sentiment.
There is so much a person does not know about themselves, it would require a lifetime to know it all.

That is why,

"Even If The Whole World Abandons You,
You Are Never Alone, If You Have Yourself." - David Julio Wang

We're All Babies At Something, At Some Point In Our Lives

"We're All Babies At Something, At Some Point In Our Lives.
There's No Shame In A Baby Needing To Crawl Before It Can Walk,
No Shame In A Baby Needing To Walk Before It Can Run."

Everyone finds themselves at a point in their lives where they are learning something new at any given time.

We must be kind to ourselves and allow us to take as long as we need to learn new things,
because it is unkind to rush a baby to walk,
it needs to be given its time to learn on their own,
the same for everyone else.
