a little xmas carol about DEATH

[liveonearth]

I think this is terrific. It's a song called "Dead dead dead" from the makers of South Park. The children's voices singing are so Christmassy. =-] Be careful, it can get stuck in your head. Dark humor aside, it does remind me to live in the moment.

I wouldn't do justice to an explanation. Something to do with muscle-building genes, and a substantial difference between the genetic makeup of our brains.

randomness:... this is why I do not hold out faith that humans will change and become peace-loving creatures who live in harmony. Many people claim they would be that way, but the moment they perceived a threat to themselves or a loved one, they would fight to protect them. It's in our blood. Everything is linked to survival, whether or not we want to admit it.

Yep, we are critters with instinct....so the question of society becomes this: how can we organize ourselves to optimize happiness and peaceable community, and minimize conflict and strife? I think the solution has to do with units of society that are more tribal in size. The problem for most of us is that we do no have a tribe, so we are like lone wolves, always on guard, never fully happy or relaxed. Having a partner is not the same as having a tribe, but it is a step in the right direction.
