To be on this planet is a tremendous gift... but also tremendously difficult. It's a planet entirely permeated with lessons and catalyst, now accelerating at great speed towards infinite change (2012)
So it's very easy to become tired of being in this maelstrom. Imagine living as a wandering group of gatherers 50'000 years ago. They had little lessons in life, little happenings. They had their small groups of individuals (10-20 people) helping eachother, living in a fairly uneventful life.
What would you prefer? This time now, where there is incredible amount of change, where information/knowledge available DOUBLES every 1 month. Or at that time, where information/knowledge doubled say every 10'000 years.
It's an interesting thought.. and I have yet to decide myself. If anything, this is a very interesting time we live in, and sometimes that's enough for me to be comfortable here. Sometimes not.
