In the words of the Bard, and he did have a particular gift in that department, from Hamlet, ” that noble and most sovereign reason” and later he expands ” what is a man if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed? A beast, no more! Sure he that made us with such large discourse, Looking before and after, gave us not that capability and godlike reason, To fust in us unused.” Reason, the faculty of mind which is used to know what is true and right. Its still very much fusting away, besides exploiting the need for food and shelter and “cute hoor” trading in gold, diamonds and a few barrels of fossil fuel, what else has reason done for us. Maybe, seeing that it is a common trait, it is time to collectively use it and direct it to a higher level to insure its proper use.
