Dear participants of this discussion. I have to admit that much of the things you discuss in this discussion are over my head. What I think I got from the discussion so far is that as far as "knowledge" is concerned, or a lack of it, or a distortion of it shows more negative aspects than positive ones. The other thing I got from the discussion is that politics has turned out more bad than good - thanks to greed. What about religion? Why is our concept of god so negative? Why have we pictured our gods as cruel and jealous and perverse? What about nature? Why does it seem perverse in the fact that the more we want something, the more it evades us? Why does time seem to slow down when we would rather it went by quickly? Why does time speed up when we want to relish a moment and wish time to slow down?. Why do many children show signs of cruelty to animals? Why is our history filled with unbelievable violence, especially to our fellow humans? Why does power corrupt? and greed prevail? Why is it that so many harmfull habits are addictive? Why is man so perverse?
