Cafe notes

It's been a busy week at work, yesterday I was working across three different buildings and will be doing the same again next week.

But it's the weekend and a long weekend too. Monday is a public holiday, so again I'm sitting in my usual cafe with my coffee and laptop with mousepad open writing this gemlog. I thought about writing on the current conflict between Israel and Palestine but I see there are plenty of people out there on the web expressing their opinions and some of them quite frightening. 

I did though comment on a question posted on Twitter, the post went something like; "Will humans ever be capable and loving enough to eradicate hatred and evil in this lifetime?"

The replies were sadly "No" and my reply to this was "This makes me sad because I feel it is true. I don't think humans have evolved enough to truly control emotion and I feel we would destroy ourselves before we got anywhere near it."

I often dream of a Utopian reality where we as the Human race could live like this.

But I can't see it happening. 

I have always tried to be a good person, acknowledge my faults and improve on them. 

I love Science, Physics, Genetics etc, but noway am I an authority on any of it. 

Through science I have learnt to see us as a race as equal. Skin colour, ethnicity, culture, religion etc are only skin deep, underneath we are all the same. 

Physics teaches us that all matter is just energy moving really fast through time and space. E=mc2. This is beautiful and something I constantly remind myself.
