A Note . . .

. . . to fans of 'He who speaks yet says nothing' . . .


(from http://famguardian.org/Subjects/Politics/thomasjefferson/jeff1350.htm)
". . . An enlightened citizenry is indispensable for the proper functioning of a republic. Self-government is not possible unless the citizens are educated sufficiently to enable them to exercise oversight. It is therefore imperative that the nation see to it that a suitable education be provided for all its citizens. . . "  -  Thomas Jefferson

. . . and if I may ad, a serious candidate for government office must also be 'educated sufficiently'. . .

(from Christopher Hitchens, God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything)
". . .One must state it plainly. Religion comes from the period of human prehistory where nobody—not even the mighty Democritus who concluded that all matter was made from atoms—had the smallest idea what was going on. It comes from the bawling and fearful infancy of our species, and is a babyish attempt to meet our inescapable demand for knowledge (as well as for comfort, reassurance and other infantile needs). Today the least educated of my children knows much more about the natural order than any of the founders of religion, and one would like to think—though the connection is not a fully demonstrable one—that this is why they seem so uninterested in sending fellow humans to hell. . .”

Point. . .

I think sometimes, probably more so during the year-end holiday season (Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years for all of the 'religiously-persecuted') that we as a species have arrived at a particularly crucial point in our development.

On the one hand,  the more educated and sophisticated we become, the greater our preoccupation with our self-realization.  As this takes place, we find ourselves less involved with the intricacies of our extended families.  In fact, sometimes we find that while we love the members of our extended family we don't, in truth, like them as much as other, more-similarly (within the realms of intellectual, artistic, political, and humanitarian areas) disposed people.

So as we attain greater freedom, movement, awareness and development, we lose the commitment, duty, obligation to care for our family members who, in tribal times long gone, we would have spent our entire lives with- day in and day out.

I don't know what or where the happy medium between these two extremes exists.  I most certainly understand and appreciate the value of existence at both ends of this spectrum.
