Evolution through Forgiveness

In many modern subcultures, the evolution of humanity is becoming an ever-more popular topic. Evolution basically is the process of taking two conflicting conditions or forces of nature that a precede a threat to survival, and balancing them out with a solution; a correcting behavior that correlates with a change in the underlying coding of the organism. In this sense, unification of polarity *is* evolution.

In the case of humanity, I theorize that a major step in our evolution could be reached through several paths. It is interesting to note that the two major paths I will explore here both involve a need for forgiveness.

In the material realm of action, societal evolution could be obtained through debt forgiveness. This type of forgiveness would open up the possibility of a much-needed 'reset' and an opportunity to restructure society itself in order to build something more sustainable for ourselves and the planet we live on. In the immaterial, psychological realm, evolution is reached instead through forgiveness of the true nature of humankind through a symbolic unification of polarity.

Evidently, it doesn't seem that we are prepared on a social level, as a whole, to implement debt forgiveness; therefore, we may strive for the alternate path. When each of us works individually to forgive and accept the underlying detrimental nature of humankind which manifests through a perceived duality, we are able to make a change on a personal level which radiates out into the greater whole. This involves the realization that the widespread cultural ideology of right or left; the "I'm right; you're wrong," mentality not only is provoking belligerence and war, but it also stagnates us and holds humanity back from true progress on a grand scale. The feedback from this dangerous dynamic feeds our seeming 'need' to be right and the desire for resulting obtained power drives us closer and closer to the possibilities of nuclear war, biowarfare, biohacking, and cataclysmic environmental disaster.

With the ever-present advancement of technologies that we may not be responsible enough to utilize and the impending possibility of those very technologies surpassing us, we seem to be approaching a crossroads where we can either continue on the path of separating ourselves into polar opposite groups in every sense, or we can overcome the polarity, solidify the disparity and take the next major step in evolution. Which will it be for humanity?
