Act on what you have already learned

"The largest question facing the human race is not when will you learn, but when will you act on what you've already learned."
Neal Donald Walsch

"I know, I know." "Yeah, I've heard that before." "I can do that too!" "No problem." "Y'know?"

We're all learning everyday, always learning something new. Well, at least that's the attitude I *think* we should have. Nobody knows it all, and I think when it all comes down to it, we're all kids inside. Even the professors who are endowing us with the knowledge of their experience. The world is so vast, and it is impossible to think that we have even begun to fathom the truth of the intricacies of existence; the sophistication of Mother Nature. However, everyone loves to know. And everyone loves to be right.

So the question is, have we learned that there is always more to learn, and that we can't possibly understand the things that will equip us to survive in this world, or even to be good human beings, without guidance, and without being open and vulnerable? I think that is an important lesson we must all learn.

As for the things that we have reflected on for ourselves, whatever they are. We all know for ourselves. Sometimes we fall into old habits and routines and never really take action on what we've realized. Maybe we need to find the time to be decisive. Whenever that will be. How about now?

And as for the more pressing issues, like shifting to green technology, ending war, quitting the petty bickering, the fighting, the hatred, the intolerance, judgement, discrimination, and general insanity that our current society accepts as the status quo and norm, ... I think for the most part, our new generations have evolved towards becoming more open, liberal, accepting, and peace-loving. Well, okay, we can't just isolate the more progressive people to belonging in the younger generations, as liberals exist in every pocket of our humanity, in any race, gender, colour, ethnicity, you name it. But let's get back to the point... when are we going to take action? And put what we know to be necessary for the health and preservation of life on earth into practice in implementation?

Apologies to anybody who may have been offended by this post.
