Many Americans are spoiled, they do not really understand prosperity consciousness.  Too much easy abundance, greed, and competitive ignorance hold us back.  Everyone's quality of life gets better when healthy competition is at the service of cooperation.  Nature understands this wordlessly, so why can't humans do the same?  We are so blind to the simplest and most natural of laws.

There is so much suffering and ignorance to be addressed, it's nice to have a clear vision of one's own path in life. This is the only answer to the existential anxiety we feel when we have lost our way.  If we do nothing to help others and only serve ourselves, are we not doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past? Evolution does not reward purely selfish behavior, even though it may seem so superficially.

If you question this premise, go read Lynn Margulis' Symbiotic Planet.  Have fun, this is a great read.

There is no time for time. There is only time for humanity to wake up.
