Turn this ship around

What is truly amazing is that humans live our lives like what we believe is true, when most of it isn’t. We believe in race, in class, that global warming isn’t true, that America’s form of government is the best in the world, in the dollar. in brand identities, in national boundaries, in thousands of different gods, that chocolate is not a drug, that men should control womens’ bodies, that there is a fundamental difference between Democrats and Republicans, that humans are the only intelligent species on earth, that there is no life other than us in the universe, that there is just one universe, that caffeine is not a drug, that we need to buy buy buy, and I could go on and on. Just think what humans believed 100 years ago, 100 before that, 100 before that, 100 before that. Most things believed 100 years ago were false, and even more were false 100 years before that, and even more…. The basic fact is that most of what we currently believe will be proven false or overthrown in another 50 let alone 100 years. So what this leads to, is the basic fact that why are we in such a rush to destroy the earth we live on. We are all basically on a starship traveling through space and right now there is no Planet B. Maybe we should all slow the F down and chill for a bit. Oh by the way, if what you believe is actually wrong, why not the hell cut everyone else some slack maybe try to live in peace and drop all the barriers we have thrown up between ourselves. At this point the way we are headed we are all just passengers on the Titanic. That is unless we unify overthrow the current Captains and turn this boat in another direction.
