Part 3

There are other areas of discussion that I’ll deal with more briefly. You think the concept of morality has a shelf life.

No, not the concept. The word.

So long as there is human society, I think there will have to be moral codes to prevent social chaos.

I don't think the same way as you do here. I do believe within the matter that we are made up of, is the potential for a reactionary society that does not require laws to be imposed upon it but, is so aware of how their choices impact WHAT IS, that they learn to choose to live in peace with everything that IS. I believe in the survival of humankind, the survival of the fittest. We will evolve within us what is best for the continuation of our species. That just seems like a combo of a natural selective process and adaptation to me.

I'm not saying it will happen in anyone's life time or in a few centuries, etc...just that within our makeup is the potential for peace and harmony within and with humankind. Humankind is made up of the same matter as everything else that IS...and so, we too, can find a balance and harmony within ourselves that will eventually extend to everything else. We are a fairly new species...just give us some time please before you write us off!!!

Finally, Tony says: “One of the reasons DHW has a hard time pinning down my beliefs is that *I* have a hard time pinning them down.” This made me laugh, but at the same time kind of warmed my heart. When people’s beliefs are already pinned down, it means they’ve closed their minds. Such folk usually leave this website very quickly. I’d like to think the rest of us are keeping one another company on a fascinating quest.

I am right there with you!!!
