We are stupid

In nature a lot happens.
Snow melts.
Trees grow.
Animals hunt.
Bees fly.
Sun shines.

All the phenomenons that happen in nature, we can understand.

The snow melts because the temperature rises.
The trees grow because their roots find water.
The animals hunt in order to have food and eat.
The bees fly because walking takes too much time.
And the sun shines because we are close to a sun.

Nothing complicated.
All very easy to understand and explain.

However, if it concerns the behaviour of human beings, often it is much more difficult to understand their phenomenons.
In fact, we human beings, are very erratic creatures.
Harder to understand compared to nature.
Because we are stupid.
Yes, dear fervent and loyal blog readers, it is time someone stands up and tells the truth.
All of us, including you and also the pioneering photographer, we are stupid.

Now that said, we could try to understand why we are stupid.
And for that we are too stupid too.

It is so bad that even the interference of God, who has send his own Son to fix matters here, has not helped.
And all efforts of well intending human beings, like Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Baden Powell and Mother Teresa to alleviate our stupidity: can anyone point out it made us less stupid?
Even the appearance among us of enlightened persons like Osho and Confucius: they only demonstrated eventually how stupid we are.
Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung explained us how our psychology works but in fact only proving how inadequate it is.

Now, what to do?
The problem is that any answer to this question will be stupid as well.

Except maybe one answer…

Which is that we simply must give up.
Stop living as we do.

We must give up autonomy and authority.
And put ourselves under the command of nature.
We must let ourselves rule by nature.
When to decide to do something, we turn to nature to find the answer there.

Does that make sense?
Many people will say it doesn’t.
But then, does the actual situation make sense?
Well??

So, let’s go.
To follow the melting snow, the growing tree, the busy bee and the warm sun.

I agree, to a point. I would change the word "stupid" with selfish.

Agreed 110%...however if we stupid humans allow our decisions to be governed by nature, I'm not sure that is the solution...too many would follow the base part of nature, using their need for food, sex or shelter to be an excuse to be violent like a lion, tiger or bear.

We need to follow our SPIRITUAL Nature in order to overcome our ignorance and stupidity.
