5.16.15 We humans so often yearn

We humans so often yearn for the right and wrong, and for it to seem clearly delineated for all, or preferably, just ourselves, to determine. 

Then, there's our propensity to engage in wishful thinking when it comes to the irritating reality that different ways and beliefs fit different people, places and times. 

History is replete with our blind compulsion to impose our values on others . And like any moral five-year-old, we pretend that not only IS there a best, but that OURS is it. 

I wonder if this is how we come to be so adamant with regards to our choices; with what we deem 'right'. 

Because we tire of the malleability of change and responsiveness, the adaptability and growth that enhances our capacity to survive.
