Your Excellency, A great disservice to humanity is a relentless ‘will to believe’ in a disenchanted world; culminating into links between nations being eroded, and divisions in society becoming ever wider. In response to humanitarian initiative: How can we serve us from ourselves? Core and aim of the idea is to develop the “human” in human beings of which, indeed, shall save us from ourselves in its completeness and finality mode. Part of what it is: to build and sustain entire communities; to ensure that the essential elements of community, its glue, are available and in abundant supply; to develop the “human” in human beings; improve our society and to enrich the lives of everyone it touches globally; in a nutshell, serve us from ourselves. Survival of the kindest. “Hence the ways of men part: if you wish to strive for peace of soul and pleasure, then believe; if you wish to be a devotee of truth, then inquire…” By 'fittest', of course, Spencer and Darwin didn't have in mind the commonly used meaning of the word now, that is, the most highly trained and physically energetic. Were he alive today, Darwin would likely have found modest delight in seeing two of his hypotheses confirmed: sympathy is indeed wired into our brains and bodies; and it spreads from one person to another through touch. Darwin, the great fact amasser that he was, would no doubt have compiled these new findings on sympathy and touch in one of his many notebooks (now a folder on a laptop). He may have titled that folder "Survival of the kindest. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, are challenging long-held beliefs that human beings are wired to be selfish. In a wide range of studies, social scientists are amassing a growing body of evidence to show we are evolving to become more compassionate and collaborative in our quest to survive and thrive. ” The common conception of Wisdom assumes that humans are successful as a species precisely because of our nurturing, altruistic and compassionate traits: Called “survival of the kindest;"that anyone who acts only in his or her narrow self-interest will be shunned, disrespected, even hated." "But those who behave generously with others are held in high esteem by their peers and thus rise in status." Forget Survival of the Fittest: It Is Kindness That Counts. A psychologist probes how altruism, Darwinism and neurobiology mean that we can succeed by not being cutthroat. The main goal of the researchers at Greater Good is to show that kindness and cooperation are better survival strategies than competition and selfishness; hence, studies have shown generous people to be more successful in their communities. According to the standard definition: Can a vision of a more empathic world change the way we behave toward each other? It is common knowledge; that social Darwinists like Skilling have learned the wrong lessons about the natural world. The nasty, brutish existence dominated by “savage competition, ruthless exploitation, and deceit” that Dawkins describes is far from the norm for animals that live in social groups. They thrive because of the cooperation, conciliation, and, above all, the empathy that they display towards fellow members. In other words, the “selfish gene” has discovered that the most successful approach is to behave unselfishly. Could it be that kindness accelerates prolific pro-creation? Thoughtful and well-educated people argues that scientific studies show that compassion is part of our DNA. We pass it on to our children and our children’s children. Studies involving the human voice in communities around the world find that there is a common “vocal burst,” or sound, used to portray compassion. Common moral opinions; Human touch also builds trust and compassion. The more a team of basketball players touch each other, the better they play. But we are now in a “crisis of compassion” Studies show that we are less empathetic, more materialistic and more self-involved than thirty years ago. Keltner says that we are a “touch-deprived” culture. We need more mindfulness, more contemplation, and gentler reassuring holding of hands. The survival of the kindest depends on it Popularly considered can a vision of a more empathic world change the way we behave toward each other? It will be observed that social Darwinists like Skilling have learned the wrong lessons about the natural world. The nasty, brutish existence dominated by “savage competition, ruthless exploitation, and deceit” that Dawkins describes is far from the norm for animals that live in social groups. They thrive because of the cooperation, conciliation, and, above all, the empathy that they display towards fellow members. In other words, the “selfish gene” has discovered that the most successful approach is to behave unselfishly. Trusting Our Selves to Technology: that every technological development puts at stake what it means to be a human being; analogically; Trusting Our Selves to humanity: that every humanness development puts at stake what it means to be a human being. Scholars are of the view misuse of either technology or humanity is indeed catastrophic to the entire community. At the end of the day, being decisive, which is the antidote to fear of missing out is about finding the power to choose what you actually want and finding the courage to miss out the rest. We have a hunger of the mind which asks for knowledge of all around us, and the more we gain, the more is our desire; the more we see, the more are we capable of seeing. Besides learning to see, there is another art to be learned, — not to see what is not. That the social chain is indomitable; that link by link it acts together, you cannot lift one man above his fellows, but you lift the race of men. Newton, Shakespeare and Milton did not directly benefit the poor and ignorant but the elevation of the whole race has been through them. What is most important in living a rewarding and meaningful life? The kinder and the more thoughtful a person is, the more kindness he can find in other people. Kindness enriches our life; with kindness mysterious things become clear, difficult things become easy, and dull things become cheerful. Happiness is free, literally. So smile to make your day bright.
