I feel to be productive as possible, we must recognize and respect every human's opinion who wishes to be heard. Isn't that what we're supposed to do? Work together and build on each others thoughts ? Isn't this how we can become the best we can be for the planet and ourselves? Not everyone sees life through the same eyes, so shouldn't we value every single other human beings opinion? I have just had enough of people trying to put each other down and thinking that their way of thinking is optimal. The way I see it, is that we all have something different..we all can be productive and have the capability to improve and build ourselves even more intellectually, so why can't we value other peoples experience on life? What comes to mind is that most people seem to mirror a few humans perspectives such as the political leaders, priests, or whatever. I think this is where the problem lies, the fact that we don't recognize that every single human needs to be recognized and respected and criticized and analyzed etc. I believe in peace and a peaceful and calm way to approach life..i think this is the most productive way to approach things, because i think we can survive together in harmony. Through coming together peacefully and without force or brutality, and not being as seperate as we have been for years, as i have experienced most of my life, i believe we could settle things in the most beneficial way possible for everyone. I think everyone wants to be happy, and everyone strives to be happy. And I think that ONE thing that is needed for eternal happiness that most people could agree on, is a healthy planet. I think that this is the ultimate goal that should be worked towards (Not leaving a mark on the planet in a negative way). If we come together sensibly, in peace..couldn't we work to make this a better place for everyone? and why isn't that being done ? Its a really hard thing to ask...or even talk about. so many things to think about, so many aspects of human life that make this question hard. One thing I see is that everyone wants to be happy, so we should try to recognize what it is that will truly make us happy. I'm just sick of watching, sick of waiting. All of my life, I've been scared to say my thoughts and feelings because of what others would think of me. But now i see it doesn't really matter, and that if you have a good heart and let that good in your life..you can't really be stopped or pushed back . or even if you have the drive to do whatever that fullfills you as a human..i just think that every kind of human activity or goal can be achieved along with a healthy planet.

i want you guys to say whatever to me, don't hold back..i need the human input, because mine alone just isn't strong enough. I have many flaws, and i would love it for you other human beings to point it out in the way that would reflect you the most.

The way you say it makes it sounds like you want everyone to be one big happy community. I dont think
that will ever happen because of things like bias.

well virtually everyone wants happiness(or so I think), and we have the power to create it for ourselves. so yeah why not? if everyone just stands back and takes a good genuine look at themselves, they can forget whatever they've learned or knew that is of bias, and just start analyzing every single thing, re - molding their minds into something they can feel proud of and enjoy.

I agree with pretty much all of this, I wish more of us thought this way.
Personally I try and be as eco friendly as I possibly can, and I try to help inform people of ways that they can too.
Someday hopefully we will all live in a Ecozoic, and I agree with you when you say that well all need to come together and put aside our differences to solve this problem. Obviously, I do not agree with the way alot of people choose to think or live, but this problem is bigger then any of us, and it needs to be addressed soon.

We are the ones to address the problems of our world, we have that responsibility as humans. I only wish people could solve their differences and disagreements in peaceful and ego-less discourse. Many speak only with emotion instead of truly using the capabilities of the powerful human mind. With power comes great responsibility and we aren't being as responsible as we have the capacity to achieve.

eh this world is getting more and more lazy, and too much reality t.v.

well, let's do something about that and try our best to preserve the wonderful and powerful creativity that we hold in our minds. I mean, question life, question every single detail about life, about why cups are in the shape they are, or why is marijuana green, or why are bowls in the shape they are, or why is life so mysterious in nature? who knows ask questions about every single detail and you will learn sooo much, there is MUCH to be learned about life. It's so great and working together can bring us into a place that is so wonderful and full of happiness. I firmly believe that.

people find happiness in different things, there can never be one community of happy people unless they are all the same people

but a counter arguement would be that the way people grow up and how they are influenced and what they percieve as happiness can be the same if under the right circumstances, so maybe there can be a community of happy people but once again, under the same exact influences, they will be basically the same exact people

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE BEANS, THEY SMELL FUCKING NICE
