Should We Observe Natural Law?

Observance of natural law.

Natural law is brutal and often seems unfair, though it's clearly just a demonstration of heredity and education contributing to a drive to survive. If a parent passes on good genes and educates their offspring well, then they are more likely to survive in the natural world to further pass on this knowledge and genetic information.

Over time, this creates a strong bloodline, leading consistently to offspring which are more educated and genetically superior to their competition.

So to what degree should humanity recognize natural law? We seem to pretend that nature is something other than ourselves. Depending on our origins, this may or may not be the case.

There seem to be both a 'light' and  'dark' perspective for consideration, here.

The light perspective would liken us to dogs. Dogs have been entirely domesticated by humans and have traded their freedom for food and shelter. All they have to do is be dogs - expressing gratitude and love for the gifts that we provide them.

Are humans like dogs? Domesticated by our Creator, having sacrificed our freedom for the gifts of this entity as we express gratitude and love towards them and their subjects? Having chosen to expend our Free Will in the service of the Creator in exchange for safety and self-assurance?

The dark perspective would pit people like the animals in a slaughterhouse.

We believe that we are free for much of our lives, interacting with other 'sheeple' in a realm where our free will can only be exercised to a certain limit. Regardless of what we think or do, we are imprisoned in a society that marginalizes us, and where the knowledge of our true origin is restricted.

Evidence suggests that humanity has been genetically tampered with millennia ago, that certain genes are deactivated, and that we may never be allowed to experience our full capacity as humans - much like an animal bred for slaughter will never reap the benefits of having a strong and powerful bloodline and good parents or enjoy the freedom of living in nature.

Are we like sheep, being kept stupid and ignorant while being worked for the purpose of a dark creator?

Or have our genes simply remained inactive because we are yet to arrive at an evolutionary point at which we can actually utilize these latent abilities?

One might consider the current leadership status of the world when answering this. The owners of the banking systems rely heavily on natural law, believing that survival of the fittest is the only way to survive.

In example, they are immensely dedicated to the pruning, strengthening, and maintenance of their bloodlines. They are willing to gain resources and power at the expense of others, given that it benefits their own bloodlines. Their capacities for empathy and compassion may be developed, but only in regard to their own families. They tend to view the other as either a threat or a resource to be assimilated.

This is scarcely different than what we see in nature.

If humans truly ARE a part of nature, then one would expect that this is the way in which we should all be behaving.

In fact, altruism and selflessness seem to be an entirely human concept. Nowhere in nature will you see species acting in a selfless or altruistic manner unless it benefits their survival directly. If humans ARE a part of nature, then where did this concept - which doesn't serve the individual or their bloodline - arise from?

Selflessness involves an individual sacrificing their own personal resources to provide for another. In an evolutionary sense, this is sheer stupidity. In nature, one's resources are used to help further their own survival and that of their descendants. Anything other than this directly threatens the survival of the individual and the family.

However, at one point, humans decided that acting in an altruistic basis is a great aspect of what 'being human' is. It became true that the expression gratitude, the recognition of humanity as a Unity instead of a Separation. Instinct becomes replaced by intuition.

Despite the fact that many of us are still raised in an environment and put through a school system that suggests survival of the fittest is still heavily at play.

The question, I suppose, could only be answered by determining who or what are creator was and what purpose we are supposed to fulfill. Are we here to unite as humans, to provide a secure, purified vessel within which the Divine can reside to experience its Creation? Or are we here to fulfill a function similar to livestock, so that our creators and masters can profit from the sweat off of our backs as we provide a harvest of material and energetic resources?

Or is the entirety of existence just a big joke played on its denizens to invoke existential confusion?
