I just realized that the evolution of the consciousness in man has changed us from viewing ourselves individually as an organism but rather collectively as an organ made up of many organisms. Seeing survival of the whole as more important then survival of the individual.
The Greatest Good For The Greatest Number.
Does our capacity to even be able to override the biological survivalist mechanisms inside ourselves for what we consider a greater cause for the greater good mean we have evolved to exist as compassionate creators or just that we have accidentally learned how to hack into ours and others minds and rewrite what we believe is survival. E.G. Suicide bombers going to heaven after death.
But taking into account those who do not believe they will be going anywhere at all but still give their life in order to save another or multiples. E.G. an Athiest saving a child from a burning building and dying in the process. Can we still believe the latter?
Does the existence of compassion mean the existence of an evolution into a collective entity, being both individual and hive like at the same time?
Interesting.
