A Short Theory of Evolution

We are social creatures and we crave interaction with others. Humans have the vision to see not only what is but what can be. Our innate desire to improve our situation leads us to want to be with those who are like us and from whom we might learn what we don't know.

We are taught by those who have come before us. We learn from their wisdom we make changes to what we do or we try new things with their guidance. When what we do does not make us stronger, we learn a lesson to impart to others. When what we do makes us stronger, we benefit as a result of our interaction with others, and we change. This is happening constantly to billions of people everywhere, and is what leads humans to physically, physiologically, psychologically, socially, spiritually, intellectually, sexually, and technologically change, evolve, so that we limit mistakes, eliminate what's not necessary, and make life better. When we feel like we've made good changes, we have the confidnce to try new things, so we innovate, we succeed, and we make mistakes. We pass on the learned knowledge of those triumphs and mistakes to those after us. Armed with what we know, they then are free to avoid the same roads as we did and to forge new paths, discover new things, and make fresh mistakes.

Only with the help of others will I truly evolve.

Tomorrow: Passion
