Survival of DNA
I have once herd, a philosophical theory, about us as a container to carry around a group of cells, referred to as: DNA.
The great machine, our body, mind…. sol, aimed only to preserve our genes. Pass it on to the next generation, so we will leave for ever. The thing that got me thinking about it, is the fact that, it boils down to the basics of our lives. Pure survival.
It’s looking to the road is clear to pass.
It’s getting up for work, so we have money on our table(as we all know it gets much more complex that).
It’s pay attention to drinking enough, so we don’t get dehydrated.
It’s thinking ahead, so we can avoid an immediate situations in which we feel threatened by … anything.
Now threat is something we each see differently. A threat for one, is the greatest thrill for another. So trying to determine the way, we (as a society) make up those moral/ethic rules to follow. Taking a different direction is sometimes going in to the unknown. Some may see that place you are heading, as dangerous, e responsible while some may see it as conservative.
Different cultures have sometimes different path, then our own, hell sometimes it’s our neighbor with a totally different perspective.
Which is the right path to go? i guess for the DNA it may well be being a criminal, as long as by standards of that individual community, he considered as dominant. Conservatively speaking, that person puts him self in greater risk, for his genes to end with him (in some cases premeturly).
If Survival of our genes , is the all story, then all our morel/ethics, are taken from the physical world we live in. Psychics and biology are the two factors to the biggest equation off all- living. Notice i didn’t consider, psychological, since that is only a response to the equation. Trying to play with the numbers, maybe it will add up to something more.
If that is so, where is god in all of this?i think it was Gottfried Leibniz , that said god gave us the best of all worlds, which implies there could have been others. Morally, that raises the question whether our ethics is absolute, or just a reaction to the circumstances. Given a different world, we could live in a world in which man, can bring children. I wonder where does, it put us then- may there would have been less wars?!
God or not, it is perfect…we have it all right here.
Still not clear what i want to say here. I guess it will make sense some day…. To Be continued.
