Careless as in wreckless, yes. Careless as in care free? No, I'd say a part of the reason we can be so violent sometimes is because we take too seriously things that don't matter and should care less about.

"It is because we don’t know who we are, because we are unaware that the Kingdom of Heaven is within us, that we behave in the generally silly, the often insane, the sometimes criminal ways that are so characteristically human. We are saved, we are liberated and enlightened, by perceiving the hitherto unperceived good that is already within us, by returning to our eternal ground and remaining where, without knowing it, we have always been."

Getting there is the hard part. Humanity has strayed so far... We are all at fault.

Strayed? Assuming things were ever really different for the masses. Which I doubt.

Yeah I don't believe humanity has strayed - it's kind of stayed the same... It's how it has always been.
