If you skip a meal you should not die.  If you skip two or three meals you still mostly will not die.  Maybe you should skip a meal here and there, then maybe you won't be so fat.  The thing is, humans were not built for glotinous behavior or inactivity.  It was meant to run, climb, defend, and forge for its survival. While we have less tendencies to our earlier cousins our bodies truly are temples and we doing them a disservice.  If collectively we work our bodies our minds would follow.  Designing the structures which ensure all our survival for we are no longer cavmen worshipping whatever to bring the sun up, which we now know is a star and we will continue to orbit Sol for a little time longer regardless of the diety.  We are smarter and realize that a competition for survival is barbaric and survival of the fittest is left for beasts, we are civil and love our children and putting them against each other for survival is wrong.  We are loving mothers and fathers, wanting the best for our children and ourselves.  To ensure everyone's survival it's the compassion of the human race which see that we volunteer our best to create an environment wonderous and stimulating.  We care for all through cooperation and diversity of the human race brings endless ideas which become the miracles which surrounds us.  For we are the new generation, the being here now whom will the future.  We are the evolving human race and we must never fear our ingenuity.   We will survive the universe through need and would traverse the heavens, the humans race is new to the neighbourhood.  Until recently, we have never been able to communicate as easily as we do now.  We have never been able to give access to every soul the reach of this mighty species to be. If we so chose, we could bring world peace to this planet tomorrow if you could of course find a planet of peaceful beings willing to renew their bond to this planets and all life on it.  We will evolve to that point, are you mature enough to share equally to be equally cared for?  Can you abandon the imaginary lines which divided us?   Throw away the flags which color us?  Discard the brands which labels us?  To bring peace to this planet by waking up and literally smelling the flowers?  We are the children of earth, naturally its citizens, billions in numbers.   What ants achieve boggle my mind, I dare humanity to do better.
