Read Dawkin’s #TheSelfishGene. Empathy is a cultural enlightenment attainment. It is prized and sadly not the universal norm for those dealing with basic instincts. Violence has been the norm since #heterotrophs learned to consume #autotrophs.
Love the story of the albino redwood who gives up having children and the chlorophyl needed to feed itself and takes on the dying act of absorbing heavy metals from California’s mercury mines to clear the soil. It lives by being feed by its siblings thru their complex root network. #TheSelfishGene
Read Dawkin's #TheSelfishGene book and I agree that the norm is to be selfish, but thru culture and abundance we can learn to be a generous species capable of doing great things. Pray we find our way back to those halcyon days.

You ancestors worked hard avoiding injury to make sure you'd be here. Your DNA could care less if you are a nervous wreck in the process! #TheSelfishGene
Dit bericht ook net op @nos regionieuws. Heel terecht dat medewerkers onderzocht worden want het DNA codeert ook voor slimme trucjes om zichzelf te verspreiden. #Theselfishgene
