I feel as if we are missing it...

It's a large boat to catch, this world is. Hard to miss it in some ways.

Homo Sapien Sapien - The Genetic Being that we are. Our skin. Our eyes, hands and feet. The meat of what we are.

Human Being - This mind we have. Phenomena that we are. We have the ability to question, conceive, abstractly construct worlds in our mind. "I doubt, therefore I am" - Descartes.

We speak of our social contract. The one in which we must sacrifice for society in order to have personal long term gain and all that jazz. There is a second, more important one. It is more a moral contract. It is a very cloudy concept of definition at the best because of the charged nature of the word.

We have a responsibility for something grander. We should recognize somewhere deep down inside of us that to move from Homo Sapien Sapien to being Human Beings we have an emotional and societal leap to make. We have to allow the individual to move beyond the animalistic struggle for existence. We have to allow the society behind that individual to move beyond the simple search for "money" and grasp the concept of wealth. We have to grasp change and its constant nature; the only true constant in the universe.

We gotta work. We have to struggle. We have to ignore the fear. And we have to change.
