You’ve hit the nail on the head. You’re right, we have a choice, and we must be aware of it. That is why hatred is #1 sin in the bible, but it’s been lost in translation. When the reptile mind starts knee-jerking the biggest distraction, hatred, we look for blame instead of understanding. There goes your humanity out the window. It is the bane of humanity and the purpose of “The Warning at the Dawn of History” and Huminimism at huminimism.com. If everyone in the world new about choice and the bane of humanity, it would improve all our lives. Hey, it could happen. Visit the site. Let’s gather advice. We can be Warners. We’ll need hats.
Reptiles have risk/reward like other animals. Our intellect can identify hatred directly with associated loss (relationship, opportunity, etc.). Reptiles don’t like to lose, and they don’t waste time on hatred. Neither do we, if we are aware. Over time, the reptile will know the ropes, because that is survival. And someday our unthinking reaction might be to help. Wouldn’t we be nice?
