Creativity and Arrogance.

I really like this Ian.  Take care.  Burl

Animals do not attempt at improving their nature or themselves. Humans do and end up destroying most of the time and at times leading to some sort of improvements. instead of arrogance if we balance our unique capacity for improvement with the humility that we can not improve the basic design, perhaps we might not end up destroying. So let us throw out the arrogance and bring in humility

Hi Ian

Thanks

Yes and no.

If we had accepted 'What Was' twenty years as What Is , we wouldn't be
keeping in touch. So we can improve. At 60, 75 where we are, we see
improvements on  a moment to moment basis which continue to renew us.

Too often the improvements that we boast of could be killing us,
unsustainable. We fail to see this when we are arrogant. We need not
/can not improve any aspect of nature, though we can improve all
aspects about ourselves, may sound a contradiction.

Our obsessions with improvement arise from our potential to improve,
unlike the animal which can not improve or improve to the scale at
which we can.

We are just making full use of our nature here or we understand nature better

Am I making sense?
