					<description><![CDATA[I did not get to read through all the posts on here and want to make some general statements based on observation, education, self realization, tv, internet, music, art, and anything we encounter daily in a western society. 

We as humans are curious, inventors, explorers, followers, leaders, gathers, primitive or social and very complex in nature. We can all agree that civilizations all fail or fall? At least looking into history no matter how far you go back. Is there one particular place in time we can point and say we crossed the line and that is why we are here in this modern civilization? No matter how primitive we may have lived or live we are complex by nature. A primitive society is still a civilization just not a modernized one. We are dicussing on a wonder of the world, the world wide web. Talking and dicussing the very thing we question and yet use them to discuss them. How interesting? our population is exploding every second of every day. 

The planet is fighting back daily look at the &quot;horrible&quot; acts of nature. They get worse all the time. Why is that? My strong opinion is the planet can not be used at the rate we are using it. So it is fighting back and will win whether we want it to or not, wheteher it be through disease, natural disasters or war.

Most everthing we all speak of is influenced one way or another. Yes they may be our thoughts, but these thoughts are made through everything I ststed earlier. We are all self taught, self learners this is primitvie by nature as being human. Primitive in a westren society or civilization what ever you or we wnat to call it. You can look at nature and see evidence of this. Birds build nest out of modern items, paper, metal, trash of anykind. Why is this? Adaptation. We all adapt to our surroundings or we may move to different surroundings then adapt to those. 

I often have thoughts of &quot;simplifying my life&quot; Go live like a hermit in the woods and survive of the land the planet and use only what I need. Simple life right? not complex? Not complex by what we may define in todays world. The world everyday is chnaging and being influenced by western civilization. Look around evidence is everywhere.

We say that animals are over populated and we condone killing them becuase they are intruding into our civilizations, they are pests! All signs of humans becoming over populated, over civilized and unsustainable. 

Struggling in my own mind as a few or maybe many humans do creates a sense of loss, sense of where do I belong, sense of complexity that utimately leaves us contributing to the very civilization we live in. The mere fact that we discuss it on a laptop at home, or in public at a wi-fi hot spot in a coffee house, at university or library we are contributing to the very complexity we discuss. 

What is it that we want? Do we continue to discuss, negotiate, or argue points of view? All of which will have a slighty different or completely opposite point of view all going to the civilizations, we were brought up in. We are individuals with opinions none of which are right or wrong; but if truly want a simple life, then we should just do it. It only takes one person to completey anhilate a civilization. One person can change anything. The bottom line is what? We coexist and have one belief? What is that one belief? Right from wrong?! Can it be that simple, it could be. But as a huge complex world, complex societies, complex minds, and on and on. If every individual took this approach where would we be? Where can we go? Can we coexist as a world? Can we stop all the wrong. Al it takes is  one individual to change it all and do one wrong thing and it will chnagethe world forever. We as human mostly want what is right and do what we may believe is right based on upbringings and surroundings. Influence surrounds us from the day of conception and that cannot be changed even if two people went out in to the wilderness and started living. They bring with them modern influences in their minds. The new human is still influenced not nearly as heavily but still influenced. 

I ask this question in all my humbleness and ignorance. Where did the decline of human nature start? Of course we will never evert back on our own the planet will do it fo us no matter what your belief is.  We living today will never see it and never know.

I apologize if I offend anyone as this is not my intentions at all. simply my thoughs expressed as I feel most all are doing on here. This is simply helping me hopefully find my way one day, my place in the existence that I am looking to live in. Whether I stay working for a corporation that I really don&#039;t agree with or society that has become so over complexed unintentionally and yet somewhat intentionally of just a few to manipulate our existence into what they want what they lust for, what their greed eludes them to. Most all have good or even great intentions but no one has the true foresight of where we are headed and we all struggle day to day in pondering life as we know it, as we want to know it or as we want it to be. Simple would we awesome! primitive would be fantastic! Complexitiy should be left for nature as it is more complex than anything we will ever do, invent, or destroy. Complexity in nature is more than we can ever comprehend and yet it works so elagantly unlike the civilizations we create. There is one and only one perpetual machine and it will always be here and that is not even our planet but it is the universe. We invent many things that are so profound and interesting to us as humans and as easily intrigued at least I am. 

My rant is over for now and hoep that it makes sense to someone and if it doesn&#039;t I feel better as I leave the coffee shop I am sitting in!]]></description>
