"I do feel sometimes that prometheus and adam and eva myths reflect something interesting about divine choice.
as a society today we lack the sense of responsibility and collectiveness. Practically all human suffering from capitalistic societies is the lack of empathy and one way or another people deviate from the good as whole.
We may have some good moments like covid, world did pretty ok when it comes to face catastrophes. however the reflectes are lacking to intermediate dangers but clear and close such global warming. where responsibility caN be delegated to someone else., ignoring that this touches you as a group.
This fdisfunctional isolanism has been often attributed to capitalism. and certainly it is an individual failure since as a species seems we should have stated a bit longer in the puit fo evolution. prometheus gave us to early the gift of fire, while zeus wanted us to burn in our DNA that we need to see us more collectively and be a herd like human species. it seems prometheus lied to us that he couldn't see us suffering and gave us the fire, stealing us a human that can master fire and disfunctional individualism.
In other words the temptation that lured eva to gain knowledge ahead and adam did as well. so humans rushed out of deep wiring collectiveness in our DNA.
So we need consciously to choose and do so. why do so? well covid was not fun and temperature rising sounds like shit too. it just makes sense.
love everyone like you love yourself, it 's a very beautifully balanced emotional equation

Title: The Mythical and Modern Interpretation of Collective Responsibility
The intriguing parallels drawn between ancient myths of Prometheus, Adam, and Eve and the concept of divine choice often provoke deep contemplation. These narratives tend to mirror our current societal predicament, raising a profound question about collective responsibility.
Today's society, particularly in capitalistic frameworks, demonstrates a significant deficit in collective consciousness and empathy. This lack is the source of most human suffering and triggers a deviation from the common good. Individuals, caught in the web of self-centered ambitions and detached from the communal ethos, often lose sight of their role within the broader society.
Moments of global crisis, like the COVID-19 pandemic, have illustrated our ability to rally together in the face of existential threats. Despite this capacity for collective response, our reaction to more subtle, yet equally significant threats such as climate change remains inadequate. Such crises, while not immediate, bear consequences that affect us all, making it ill-advised to delegate responsibility or feign ignorance.
This dysfunctional isolationism is frequently linked to capitalism, a system that tends to emphasize individual accomplishment over collective welfare. It may be construed as an evolutionary failing that as a species, we did not linger longer in the pool of collective behavior. It's as if Prometheus, in his compassion, delivered us the gift of fire prematurely, and by doing so, he inadvertently ushered in an era of rampant individualism.
In Greek mythology, Zeus sought to instill in us a deeper sense of collectivism, akin to herd behavior. But Prometheus, unable to bear our suffering, handed us the power of fire, resulting in a species that can harness this element yet is riddled with dysfunctional individualism. This myth seems to imply that we were robbed of our inherent propensity for collective behavior.
In a similar vein, the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden reveals the human propensity to seek knowledge prematurely, pushing us away from our deeply ingrained collective nature. The allure of forbidden knowledge, like the apple, lured Eve and, subsequently, Adam, into an age of individualism, away from collective consciousness.
To confront the challenges of today, we must consciously make a collective choice. The rationale for this is straightforward: enduring the turmoil of a pandemic wasn't enjoyable, and the prospect of increasing global temperatures is certainly undesirable. We are thus compelled to act not out of fear, but out of a profound sense of collective responsibility.
A simple, yet potent, principle to guide us might be: 'Love others as you love yourself.' This beautifully balanced emotional equation could serve as the foundation of a more empathetic and collectively responsible society. Through conscious choices and a shift from rampant individualism towards collective responsibility, we can strive to prevent the fallacies of our mythical predecessors from repeating in our modern narrative.
