2. Circumstances make us.
“Person reacts to the situation he finds himself in. If/when the situation is different, the person (his reaction), will naturally (definitely?) be different.” Filomina Pawar.
So I wonder: Shouldn't we change the situation/circumstances (of the whole World) to better, so that each of us can flourish to his limits? Then, we can expect better people, acting and reacting in a better manner.
"Anything forced or forbidden threatens our 'sense' of freedom (then, I think, we fight back, freak-out, fear or follow) either reaction gets us frustrated because the feeling of 'free will' is lost." Filomina Pawar.
“Death is the threat to our survival and thus, the reason for our bizarre behavior, I think.” Filomina Pawar.

Imagining the possibilities: Yearning to be human.
Our (adapted) conversation: Individual and human race: Survival instinct.
Filomina: Eric, why do you think we behave like we do?
E: because we are born evil. (Eg. The fetus almost kills its mother) on the way, while living, there is a chance we can become better. I don’t want to use the word ‘evil’ anymore but born with the ‘survival instinct’.
F: how do you think we will live, when there is no threat to our survival?
E: Most probably better, I think.
F: If ‘all’ living things are born with survival instinct, then as soon as there is a threat to its survival, it will do anything and everything possible to overcome that threat (without any moral or ethical consideration, when it comes to a point) Once we understand and accept this fact, then isn’t it/will it not be better that we devise ways where there is no need for survival by violent means but with peace and harmony for all?)
