What then if the wisest of our species
in defiance of the widely held belief
that as we evolve so does our intellect
predated the psychology of humanity
and in their vast wisdom conjured the
vision of a creator-deity . Theirs a defined
purpose; to infuse within humankind the
need to conform, to obey, to sympathize
and empathize for these are qualities that
humanize and in the process make conflict
less likely. The lessons of the Golden Rule
and principle of Do Unto Others embraced
as an antidote to anger, impulse and violence.
And so was born trust and faith however
tainted by nature's compulsion of survival
leading to conflict. Nature, the Earth Mother
nurturing yet indifferent. God, implacably
preaching, warning, cajoling, threatening.
One a proven reality, the other a symbol.
