@XogGyux , your view of people being ‘natural cowards’ is more a condemnation of a society accepting ‘me first’ and ‘the supremacy of the individual’ than it is an accurate picture of human nature. It is a current societal norm. Acts of bravery come from a belief in something more important than yourself. This is eliminated in a society that places the individual first. This is why we see people videoing violence instead of stopping it. This was not a common view up until the 60’s. I have never hesitated to put myself in danger, because I was raised when society believed differently. We were told sticking up for others was more important than ourselves. I still remember how outraged I was when we were first told to ‘let the police handle it’. This is not how civilization works. All must police it.
I dream of the United Citystates of Earth, where each Citystate has a standardized border such as one whole degree of Latitude by one whole degree of Longitude.
