IS THAT IT THEN? Are we doomed because of our own stupidity ? The main problem I feel, is that humanity PERMANENTLY lives in a state of denial - are we ? Why can't we get past this PRIDE and 'losing face' bit? Did we cross a threshold we are never going to recover from with the twin towers tragedy ? In life you constantly here the expression from one person to another ''grow up and be a man'' - what does that actually mean when a bunch of people fly a plane into a skyscraper! I know I don't like the world I'm living in at the moment - the more politically correct we become the more I feel we are moving away from what nature intended.
One of John Cleese's characters in the film Life of Brian upon hearing the phrase ''the meek will inherit the earth" said "the meek are half the problem" - when they canned the Benny Hill Show - it killed him - his show WAS his life - and they stopped it due to Political Correctness - was he really doing any harm - or giving pleasure to millions ?

My point is that we are animals, warm blooded mammels FIRST and self-aware, independent thinking people SECOND - we live in REAL denial that we are basically the same as animals - that we have to eat, sweat, go to the loo and have the same base urges for sex and violence as they do - and until we stop pretending WHAT we are - Jonathon Ross may well be right !

THe world and almost everyone in it, take themselves far too seriously these days. Everybody has forgotten the value of a joke or having a laugh. So many are too busy sueing someone because someone's kid hit their kid in the playground at school or because somone said something that offended them. 30 years ago they would have been treated as an idiot. They are still idiots, its just that we take them seriously now.

People are to far gone to be "helped", if you want to help someone you should help yourself first. A good trip out into the woods by yourself to just immerse yourself with whats really important in this world is a good place to start.
