As long as we humans have emotions; we will never lose the poison. In removing the "poison" we would lose our "emotions" as we know them. IMO

Some say this is why they are interested in us, our "emotions" which "they" somehow lost(never had?).

Point 1 is questionable. Point 2 is curiously close to correct.



How many being in the universe are natural (occurred via natural processes), and how many created? I don't need exact numbers, just an idea.



I've been thinking a LOT lately about the idea of ego, and how it is that ego is the true root of our savagery. Upon consideration it is the seed of all wars, feuds, hatred and other negativity.

Those who wish to control us manipulate the ego in various ways, and have created a paradigm where they have to do very little work. We have all become so enamored with defending our egos against one another, that those in control need only nudge the general populate in any particular direction.

Just take a minute and think about how many categories and sub-categories that everyone has been neatly slotted into. Then each category is given a created reason to dislike other categories. This begins at a young age, with cliques in school being but one example.

Those reasons for dislike are all ego based. We're richer, we're prettier, we're more athletic, we're smarter, we're cooler, we're better. It's compounded with the initiative to not only dislike others for being different than us, but convince them that they are wrong and they should convert to our way of thinking. It's a spiral that gets deeper and more complicated through the developmental years, and the program is being modified to create more self-entitlement and chaotic energy lately.

The solution would be for the populace as a whole to accept that we are all individuals in our ways of thinking, and that it's perfectly okay to disagree with one another. Nobody is wrong or right for a particular point of view, just different. Yet we must at the same time realize that we are all connected and should work together to USE those different ideas and ways of thinking to create rather than destroy.

Unfortunately I don't know how to start such a revolution in the way of thinking for an entire planetary populace. It's such an ingrained part of every culture that while I'm sure it's possible, I can't fathom a catalyst powerful enough to create such a change.

I'll keep hoping though, humans are surprising creatures.
