Great insight, very well written. I think one aspect other than what you have mentioned and why us humans are the way we are is the need for intimacy. Not sexual (that too). But the need for interpersonal relationships, attention from others. One of the worst punishments in a prison is solitary confinement. Intimacy is part of what makes us human.
I've been traveling around the world for at least 10 years, living out of a backpack. I've seen the good and bad of people all over the planet. But generally they are good natured and want to help each other. That being said upvoted and followed!
I'm new here, maybe you can help me out and check out my intro. I have gotten a lot of positive feedback and I think you'd enjoy. Thank you in advance. -World Travel Pro
Thanks for the feedback. Indeed, most of us are good-intended, even when we do bad lol. The desire for attention from others is a big psychological factor that I neglected to mention, thanks for bringing that up!
Getting people to like us increases our interactivity with others and the sharing of attention. I'm in a "solitary confinement" of my own making from not aligning with the social norms that most people are conditioned into. I've taken the path of truth to de-condition myself from the falsity others don't recognize: “Everything that is not the truth is removed from your life. This requires a lot of alienation.” – Michael Tsarion, The Posthuman World. If more people did that, then we could unite on the common basis of care for truth through having evolved our consciousness to do so. We unite in life with others based on commonalities. I am very different from others and don't harmonize much with their usual level of interests and desires.
