Species Humility?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Peace might require us to admit we are not always right – nor at the center of the universe.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Who sends these marvelous gifts to me?
When I wake up in the morning, I find another day filled with surprising and exciting things to do and see and hear and learn.
I interact with friends and family near and far.
I laugh and play and sing.
Who sends these gifts to me?
See, here’s another one.
I want to send a thank you.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Someday I’d like to see a blue-eyed person.”


[Well, I wonder about that. But He didn’t say it – probably.]

D. Blog: Wondering

I wonder whether other species have the attitude that they have dominion on Earth and that they will continue to exist as a species even if/when the environment that supports them changes drastically…

I wonder whether we recognize our species' hubris…

I wonder whether we will realize that the “fittest” that survive are not necessarily the most powerful, for “fittest” probably means those that best adapt to environmental change…

I wonder whether we humans will ever achieve the humility necessary for survival…

“The meek will inherit Earth,” He said…
