Are We Truly Evolved? The Unfinished Evolution of Humankind

A disciple, troubled by the dissonance between humanity’s claims and its actions, approached their Guruji. “Guruji,” they began, their voice laced with a deep unease, “we proclaim ourselves the most advanced species, the pinnacle of evolution. Yet, when I look around, I see a world consumed by conflict. We fight for land, for the right to believe, for the arbitrary divisions of caste and creed.

We still struggle for basic necessities like food and shelter, and the pursuit of power seems to corrupt all it touches. Are we truly advanced, or are we merely deluding ourselves?”

The Guruji, their eyes reflecting the weight of centuries, offered a gentle smile. “Your question, my child, is one that has echoed through the ages. It strikes at the very heart of our understanding of progress.”

Indeed, the disciple’s observation rings with a chilling truth. We have mastered the art of manipulating the natural world, building towering cities and traversing the vast expanse of space. Our technological prowess is undeniable, a testament to the remarkable capacity of the human mind. Yet, this very prowess seems to exist in stark contrast to our enduring primal instincts.
