The Wasted Human Brain

 Think of the wasted potential of the human brain. The dinosaurs had 350 million years to develop but didn't get beyond eating one another. Man comes on the scene and goes from harnessing fire to landing on the moon in just a few hundreds of thousands of years. So why have we skidded to a moralistic halt? Is it because as the human fetus develops it still goes through a lizard brain stage? Think about the absolute abomination of war. War has been part of the human condition since man kind first started walking upright. Why war? Like the song says, what is it good for, absolutely nothing. The only thing war ends up doing is thinning the herd. So how come so many so called leaders and politicians are always clamoring to start another one? The human intellect could turn the whole planet into a literal Garden of Eden, and yet, we persist in banishing people who are not of our tribe to live like Cain outside the garden. Until we accept the fact that the human brain is the ultimate gift, we will continue to demean deny,and slaughter one another.
