I like the way you come right out with it, the direction toward truth is not an easy one. We all share more in common than we have differences, and these differences all to often become deadly. When confronted with such self realities, very many abandon it. It is not all that hard to start using opium, especially when the majority are pushing its use.
Ten thousand years from now our decendents will look back upon this era and know that we were developing rapidly in technology but were just crawling out of the stone age when it came to spirituality, (Understanding of ourselves).
