What matters is not that we agree, nor that we see the same angle of beauty, it is that we aspire to be better, whatever better means to each. To do no harm is the widest and deepest approach to life and living, an affective way to view the future and the moments of our day to day. To do no harm has no specific affiliations except to the genealogy of being human: the history of us and we. It is difficult in our contemporary world to pin point this behavior, this ideology of being, the like minded tribes of do no harm. In a world awash in noise and fear, one has to see from the gut and hear from emotion, our innate navigation of compass and guiding light.
“To affect the malleable future, we must accept the ordinary, while striving for the extraordinary.”
To navigate forward we must see who we are, we as in us, which includes them. Our human nature is flawed, we’re still running in packs, running in fear, as sheep to slaughter. As humans we are not perfect, though we pretend, wearing our image as armor, we search for the way ahead. Our innate default is love, though currently challenged: so it is, as it has been. This is nothing new, though as the future is showing, possibly our end. Our human history is sorted, our present seems the same. To affect the malleable future, we must accept the ordinary, while striving for the extraordinary. To affect the future is to see what is, move through the muck and push for change. What matters then is not the ending, but the beginning of the new, to define who we are, to do no harm.
