What's The Norm?

Through the arrogance of man, We're conditioned to believe what is good and what's bad. What's normal and what isn't. Have you ever been in a situation where you were doing right, but a little voice in the back of your head told you it was wrong? The human being is nothing but a flesh computer, processing everything we see, feel, and do. Once again man's standards have us conditioned to see, feel, and do what was taught to us by them. And whose to say they're process is right? Well I'm the first to disagree. When you look at a physically or mentally challenged person, who was the one who taught us to believe they're not "The Norm" and we are? Have you ever noticed that some of history's greatest minds had a mental or physical condition? Why is it man's nature to take something they don't understand and try to control it? It's just like a lion in the wild. It's man's nature to subdue, capture, and forcefully confine them to a cage. It's just like the Iraq situation. How arrogant is man to invade and force American beliefs in a society that is totally foreign? The solution is to get with the natives and build a government catered to their needs. But unfortunately, This didn't go well with the natives of our land! Forced out, slaughtered by you know who. And now that same kind of barbaric diplomacy is being exercised today in a foreign land. This has been the worse casualty rate since Vietnam. Let me divert your attention to one of my favorite genres of film, Sci-Fi. Whether how far fetched it maybe to many, But I believe there is some truths to this form of entertainment. For example, The Matrix. Agent Smith opened my eyes more to the possibility that is hard for a lot to swallow and it coincides with "The Human Condition" issue. He said "Man is like a disease. You move from one area to another infecting it with your filth. There's another organism that has the same trait,  it's called a plague" or something like that. When I heard this I took a step back and said to myself. Is that all we're good for? And I recall a line from Terminator 2. When the young John Connor when he was observing two young boys playing with their toy guns. He said to Arnold. "We're not going to make it are we?" Arnold immediately said "No, It's in your nature to destroy yourself!" or something along those lines. Back to The Matrix, The Oracle said to Neo "What does men with power want? More power!" My quote after summing it all up is "What do the men want that created the Atom bomb want? To create a better bomb!" Look at today's technology and I don't care how much the powers that be deny it. I do believe our leap into the digital age was handed to us way too early, so mankind can do just that, destroy ourselves. It's like giving a toddler a gun, taking off the safety, and walking away. Like an irresponsible child, It's apparent man or never will be because of our destructive nature. Something has to change and soon or we're certain to perish! I like to believe we were put here to be more. There are good people in the world, But we have idiots and lunatics in government I refer to them as "The Schoolyard  Bully!" It pisses me off because if nothing is done to change the course of "The Human Condition" We're all doomed to pay the price for another man's arrogance. These are conditions forced on us by "The Schoolyard Bully!" The people have a voice! If the governed body was to stand up and speak as a united front? What power will they have? What's your view?
