History

Personal history. the traveled path of life, is much like human history. We re-enact evolutionary history in the womb, from single-celled organism to mammal. We struggle from blindness, ignorance and selfishness to awareness, intelligence and socialization. As we age, we pass through stages of civilization from gullible to informed, based on our environment, resources and capacity to learn. Hopefully, we learn to be mindful of ourselves, others, the planet, the Universe. We learn to be responsible. We learn to be compassionate. Hopefully. It takes a lot of work to grow from our history to a more enlightened present. That work is called practice.
