Why be stupid?

On a clear night, when I look upon the endless stars in the Universe, do you know what I see? I see random possibilities for life and evolution surrounding me 360 degrees. Just like us, many a species capable of learning and adapting, living at points in space and time, just always existing somewhere. Pick from any of the hundreds of billions of stars and bingo you may have. Our lives being proof. So as an individual of a species that has existed through a short time compared to the scales of the Universe I exist in, I understand why our past may have a strong influence on how people behave. But being a compassionate Human being here and now, being only surround by a planet of mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, of my own species, whom understand the value of life and love, means we each are responsible for our total well being and should be willing to learn and adapt in order to provide the best for our Lives regardless of the past. And if we don’t, we failed our generation of the Human race. Since we are the last surviving members whom owe their lives and capabilities to those whom have came before, we must use our minds, new found capabilities, and strengths to ensure the survival and thriving of our species. Voluntary survival and comfort for all should be without question and education should be what leads us. Equality and freedom for all, the exploration of this Earth and Universe in our pleasure, is all common sense. This entire life-supporting planet is each our home and our miracle. It is about time you appreciated all of it and understood your place in the Universe. It is time to mature and become a civil Human being, a citizen of the planet Earth, voluntarily enjoying the very best that Humanity has to voluntarily imagine. And if by one day time and space allows, our species may well exist long enough to make first contact with another species. We must never forget that a much larger and timeless Universe exists around us, so a united planet of beings communicating and cooperating for total survival makes sense and should be a primary objective. Anything less is stupid.
