The Golden Rule

I look at our world today quite possibly the only refuge of life in our corner of the galaxy and I see a broken orb crawling with lost souls and I can't help contemplate how different it could have been if we only could have followed the golden rule "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" it sounds so simple but since the dawn of man we have been unable to achieve that loftiest of all goals and now we find ourselves in a world we're doubt and mistrust has insinuated itself into even the most basic of relationships those between a man and a woman families and friends it is even spilled over to where the great nations of the world that we have built looks at each other with suspicion and animosity for all the great accomplishments and achievements that we as men have built we struggle with that which should be the simplest showing love caring and compassion for others why is that so hard? Are we destined to destroy ourselves, maybe man was not made to take the easy path, after all we was cast out of the garden and set free to fend for ourselves and we honed our predatory and scavenger instincts to a fine art, it makes me wonder what keeps our Creator from cutting the tethers that binds this world to the next and setting us adrift in the cold darkness of the universe is beyond me for im not sure there's much left to save if you look at the hearts of man, I look at where our kind is headed and back from which we came and can't help wondering if we're headed the right direction, I guess that's called longing for a simpler times, but I know we must forge on what lies ahead only he knows, I put it in his hands!
