Why are we fearfull and dangereous.

This blog is part of my journey to help more people that i come across. To be part of a solution you need to know the problem and in understanding the problem the solution and understading of it become easier.

Although I am not strong in history I rememmber a quote from - Edmund Burke

“Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.” 

So i am making a conscious effort to get some understanding of our life and beeing from history.

I am reading a great book By a history professor Yuval Noah Harari.

"Sapiens"- that is on my list of prefered book to recommend for you to buy.

It was only 400.000 years ago that several species of man began to hunt and only in the last 100.000 that with the rise of homosapiens that man jumped from middle of food chain to the top.

This leap has enourmeous consequences.

Human themselves fail to adjust. Most top predators are majestic creatures with millions of years of dominion have filled them with self-confidence. 

Sapiens by contrast are more like a banana republic dictator. Having so recently gone from underdog to the savannah, we are full of FEARS and anxieties over our position, which makes us doubly cruel and dangerous.

Many historical calamities, from deadly wars to ecological catastrophes , have resulted from this over-hasy jump.

This paragraph stuck with me.

It helps me understand and accept our self, forgive our personal self for what we have done and improve the future.
