it dawned on me - change and the illusory disconnect

the fundamental root-you could say the seed-of all problems in the world is the illusory disconnect humans tend to cling to. a disconnect with themselves and the world, their selves and the system.
the fundamental solution to all problems, is to move beyond that illusion of a disconnect.
"we are all one", "we are the world." these words are spoken so freely, that they seem to have lost their meaning. have we ever thought about the significance of this everyday truth? a truth that is part of some of the most ancient philosophies and is being proven by cutting edge science.
this truth makes us all infinite, makes us invinsible, makes us free, makes us responsible, makes us realize that if we ever want to change the world, we can start by changing ourselves.
the day we take on ourselves in a small way, and begin to change, is the day we've touched the world. the beauty about this thought, is that it is both selfish and selfless at the same time.
what can be more selfish than wanting and striving to change yourself and the world?

a scrap..

a series of events that began at, or before, the creation of the universe led to this moment in space and time. the events that have occurred during this period may be dissected by science and eventually explained, but what about what happened next?
a spark of emotion deep inside me, elicited a smile, followed by the sudden compulsion to say something given that I was here. say anything, it didn't matter what.
that emotional reaction and impulse to act, is the only significant phenomenon that we might revere in this experience we call life.
science may break down and dissect this last remaining mystery, but may mankind experience it, always.

background: this is a srap i posted on Nir's website. I thought it qualified to make it to this space.
bascially was staring at his smiling face or Orkut, when i smiled myself.
all this happened after reading some crazy cog sci stuff, where these (we) scientists dissected the human experience and reduced it to a few funky formulae.
now my thoughts were on emotions (i.e. me smiling on looking at his smiling face), cause i'm planning to study emotions myself. so the post was a self critical post in a way.
