POWER OF THE HUMAN MIND

Sir,
Homo sapiens have evolved to the top of the food chain. This is primarily due to
their evolution trade for a bigger brain size in exchange for muscles and
physical strength. This has led to mankind having virtually no predators that
rely on human beings as their main food source.
This, in relation, with Charles Darwin’s natural selection and survival of the
fittest law of nature, has resulted in human population growing beyond what the
resources can support.
Being intellectual organisms we evolved the free enterprise system to promote
growth of resources, recycling and efficient usage. The free enterprise system
is, however, also responsible for throwing people under the bus if they are not
productive in society.
In the free enterprise market you are forced out of the market if you refuse to
evolve with times. The major evolution trait that has led human beings to be
where they are today is using brain power as opposed to physical power to
approach problems.
Evolution is something that happened many years ago and is irrelevant today, one
may think. That is a wrong perception altogether.
Evolution is not about one organism undergoing all the evolution traits rather
it’s about surviving long enough to pass on your genes and enable your
offspring to survive until maturity themselves. This leads back to you. What are
you doing with your brain? How much capacity of your brain are you using?
What are your goals of using your brain the way you use it? Have you explored
other ways in which you can use your brain? Really how much accomplishment can
your brain achieve? I am neither a psychologist nor a person with medical
background but I am just a guy trying to use his brains for the benefit of
mankind in any way I can think of.
I am not educated; I don’t have relatives or friends in the right positions to
get connections. These are just obstacles one may be facing and they are beyond
his/her control.
Unfortunately that’s the other side of free enterprise; adapt or die.
Everybody is facing some kind of problem of his/her own and the amount of stress
is by no standards the same.
So it seems human kind is headed for a dead end with no solution on the horizon,
the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. The law favours the rich and the
cost of living is shooting sky high. There is no hope for the impoverished and
vulnerable, it’s a vicious cycle. It’s painful but it’s the reality
everybody has to live with.
What you don’t necessarily have to live with is to remain in that position for
the rest of your life. You may think that there’s no hope for you because you
basically have nothing to start with and your debt is way above your earnings.
You don’t have time, you’re too busy. The baby is yours to carry. The only
thing I want to remind you today is stop kidding yourself. If your brain is
fully functional then you have everything to start your way out of your pit of
shame and self pity.
