It’s difficult to argue that Life behaves as if it were sentient…
…Especially when it comes to people.
Of course people are sentient, and one could argue that it is not Life but the “spark” in people that is doing the sentient-seeming actions. I don’t know enough, I don’t see enough, I am puzzled… I am looking.
What am I talking about?
People seem to be taught, repeatedly, what they need to learn and haven’t learned.
One of the most difficult thing for people to learn that there are consequences.
We live in a cause and effect world, and where there is a cause there is an effect. Nothing can be done or taken or not done and not taken, without a consequence.
But it needs to be learned. And fully owned.
And that is difficult for people. Especially if their cone of vision, their visual field is narrow. Or if their visual field is not deep enough… if they cannot track delayed consequences.
