As I sift through the early archives of our history, I'm struck again and again by the range of emotional issues our forebears carried. And I applaud each individual who sought out therapy, all of whom contributed to what ultimately led to the DSE.
Directed Social Evolution, a movement to roll back the more problematic behaviors bequeathed to us by the entire evolutionary branch of the primate species Homo sapiens, which continued through to the demise of all living creatures upon the surface brought upon by the Catastrophe.
It's not always a matter of conscious control; our neurotransmitters continue to travel most easily through the pathways of our ancient ancestors, reflecting our species' innate tendencies toward the rewards of adrenaline, dopamine, and endorphins.
Working on our individual responses and processes helps advance our entire species by embedding the Charter's concepts into our very beings, intrinsic to our existence.
To live with morality and ethics imposed from outside oneself is to struggle. Mandated constraints conflicting with our inherent nature result in guilt and shame. To find our morality and ethical behavior within, whether innate or chosen, is to know ourselves and the reasons behind our choices as we follow the dictates of our conscience.
We're working through it, even now. Our road is a long one, but isn't it worth it to leave a better world and society for our children and those who come after?
