umm, some have overcome ... and countless hope for better days compared to all the violence going on, btw I'd say our lives on Earth are also a testing and learning realm (thus a purposeful function) to see how we deal with experiences of going through rounds of good and bad karma's. And someday in someway come to balance in harmony both individually and in greater populations.

is that a rhetorical question? humankind is supposed to be stewards and keepers of life on Earth, which is a place or role in the universe. (not grandiose but important)

right, ultimately none of the incredible flux of duality can reach or upset the Self (aka. the one of us that is within the zillions of us) which is just fine regardless of what is happening in all the various realms and to beings.... saying that is easy but not so easy for the zillions of us to be and know beyond regular knowing even though we are.

watch out for those big waves !

there is a view where the whole kit and caboodle goes poof...

galaxies, oh you mean those tiny specks of light?

right, becoming a new version of hate against what one hates is counterproductive, yet the spiritual battles and wars must still be fought in whatever form or in whatever realms they are taking place, trying to appease or look the other way against evil is dangerously naïve (including rambling on and on about non-duality or that everything is somehow ok) and brings about a greater suffering of fools play! (terrible patterns have repeated over and over again for many millions of suffering people through the ages who can't just instantly escape to an astral or causal heaven; I've also been on the other side and seen or shown some things )

Leave the wildlife alone and it may leave you alone, row boats on the ocean don't stand a chance otherwise...

is this sucker for real!

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king's horses and all the king's men (or just knowledge from books alone) couldn't put Humpty together again. and from the Bible: "If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing."
