What can we do to curtail our destructive urges for greed, jealousy, hatred, and boredom?

Discuss.

International trip year? Surely not everybody would react positively, but I think it would be like the fast forward button for natural selection. At the end of the week the people that hate will have killed each other and the rest of us will have the earth to take care of and enjoy.

Destructive urges for boredom??  :omgz:

I'm a half-empty guy, I don't believe anything can be done. Temporary fixes, maybe, but beyond that...

I don't see 5 grams of mushrooms fostering a profound sense of love in Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong Il or even a handful of US Senators.

Abolish private property, the institution of marriage, and the entire concept of monogamy.  Realistically speaking, there would also probably have to be mass genocide at some point.

Replace greed with enlightened self-interest, jealousy and hatred with competition, and boredom with inspiration.  In other words, redirect these urges toward positive ends.

I highly doubt a large group of people willing to commit mass genocide would continue in a peaceful manner for very long afterwards.

I know this was a ways up but I couldn't help myself...mostly if the world went nuts..........I could see a group of jarheads going all manson on some kind of their own group trip and grabbing the codes that authorize the launch of nuclear weapons and just toasting everyone...or some group with access going that flip out mind group on the same trip.

For world peace the answer has always been simple complicated, it takes individual happiness.......and that depends a lot on what we feel we want/need/deserve......some people could never have that, and some are not permitted.

I'd be just fine with a group of family that is always cool, a nice secluded cabin with some nice food to keep me going and my plant collection without fearing prison for those things...maybe some special romance and kids......but surely some animals and food too!  Oh ya, I like technology too......so those expensive things way out there and ways to power them....

Drug chemicals are going to be more abundant and survive longer than any anti-drug agendas.  Some of us are just ahead of the game, we already know what the future will understand.  Drugs weren't bad but how some people used them were and some people just were bad because they had to be.

Good question I would say....we need something for sure...we need like jesus or something to return--or my definition would be someone with the answers--who can guide us home. It's like I keep on thinking one who was truely conscious and aware just wouldnt be able to sit and do nothing. Positive energy spreads and has no time for immobility...so we need to awaken--and this can be done by just words--turn the key-set them free

mass extermination of the human race.

our nature cannot change unless we want it to.
if we want it to, it has already changed.





the best we can do in the meantime is lead by example.

Discuss.




It seems to me that humans never act in an altruistic manner, and those examples given of so called altruism are in fact selfish at the genetic level.

All of the attributes you mention are the result of a struggle for limited resources for the benefit of those of closest genetic relation... so in my thinking we have two options:

1. Manipulate the system so there is an abundance of resources per person.
2. Cease to exist.

Learn about attachment and addiction, learn how to deal with urges, stop projecting personal failings on the whole of humanity.


--------------------
Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man.  For him all doors are flung wide: him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire.  Our love goes out to him and embraces him, because he did not need it.

~ R.W. Emerson, "Self-Reliance"
