Is there something inherent in human consciousness that requires us to
go through certain stages of pain and development before evolving into
a more developed, mature state of being? IOW, do we have to experience
the hard lessons for ourselves before we are able to grow, both
individually and collectively?
For example, human beings, in large part, seem hell-bent on a path of
self-destruction -- we are literally destroying the very things upon
which human life is sustained. As a result of the dominance of Western
thought (aka, "individuality" gone awry), we act as if our actions are
disconnected from everything and everyone else.
Do we have to push ourselves to the brink of self-extinction before we
are able to learn the lessons that are required for us to live in a
different way? In that sense, are the potential (should we continue
down the path of unbridled materialism and self-obsession), man-made
disasters that loom in the distance actually a "good" thing in that
they will force mankind to choose a different, more "enlightened"
path?
Are the current destructive, unhealthy trends in human living a
necessary part in the evolution of human consciousness?

In which case the population would be in decline and the poor would
have less and not more e.g. FOOD, cars, medicine, super-markets,
shopping centres, life saving mobile phones and or colour TV.
You should slit your throat if you are that concerned, show the world
you really care and stop fucking wasting precious energy and
cyberspace by using your computer and the internet to spread your
disgusting anti-human commie inspired propoganda and stop voting for
more, fucking commie hypocrites.

No one learns much with success which is then easily taken for granted.
Failure provides a sharper understanding.

'Choice' might not be an option in that there is little to none in a
condition of necessity.

So failures are necessary for growth to occur?

Fair enough.
