Us
We run in our cages like little white mice, at fast pace, too concerned with the rhythm of his steps to realize he has no destination, no contact with the outer world, no understanding.
We fool ourselves with gods that don't exist, too frightened to do things on our own.
We forget we have roots and identities that go far beyond the nationality on our passports. If history is a garbage bin, we are the trash.
We build intricate webs and systems to push us forward only to find we're sometimes taking steps back.
We blame others, don't assume failures and and look anywhere else but ourselves.
We have fake dialogs each day, with ourselves, with the man next door that believes in freedom and with our working colleagues while negotiating peace.
We are consumed by ourselves, and we consume and act only for ourselves.
We are aggressive even in our harmless ways, imposing our thoughts, having to respect for the others p.o.v.
We forget to love and love to forget.
All these while we move forward.
How on earth is that possible??

I don't think it's a conscious choice, that we act so blindly. I think that most of us really are blind. Also, it doesn't help if you know you're blind and can't find your glasses. Sometimes I think it's even worse.
Maybe we're moving forward because we're afraid to miss out. But then is anything really unreplaceable?
I also think most of the times it's not conscious, but I do believe this "blindness" can sometimes be cured. And like any disease, you can't cure it if you don't know it's there, leaving of course the will aside.
I think we move forward because of some of us, that do make very conscious choices.
Thanx for the post :)
I was thinkin the same thing - currently, progress seems like a residue of civilisation, based on how many people are at it. But I think the number is increasing, and as a result, so is the rate of progress.
Someday, everybody will contribute to progress, and what an interesting time that will be :)
from another pov, we all contribute more or less. it's the more that pushes us forward though.
