Mmmmm, very interesting. What you have said above is true, but do you strive to become wealthy, powerful, or famous yourself? I know That I do. I strive to become wealthy.
I think we all strive to become one of those people who are oppressive, we all want to be someone. So, if you could be wealthy would you. If you could be famous, would you. If you could be 'known' (ie published, understood etc) would you. If you could become powerful, would you, and on and on. You know, who wants to be nobody, nothing, unimportant?
hock:
And, if you did become important, what would you do....
would you become corrupted like so many before you
, and enjoy the good life.
This maybe a dumb question, but what choice?
It maybe human strength mixed with human weakness. i.e. strength in technology, weakness in greed/needs. And on your second point, most people don't even think about the world as a whole or our self destructive ways. Most people are worried about day to day things. Next pay check, next bill, girlfriend, boyfriend, etc, etc. The big things are too hard, and hence put into the too hard basket...
