What is the benefit from defending territory when we all know that we each others keepers!?

Short answer: lack of trust!. Perhaps if we understand each in terms of common human needs, then perhaps we could create rights that would satisfy those needs equally!.

Self reliance is valued more as distrust increases, but this is not to say there are no other needs that motivate humans to self reliance!. In fact, self actualization is that self perpetuating motivation, even if its means for expression is given!.

It used to be that we would defend territory for the simple basics like food and water and arable land, survival!. Now it is all about greed, being right, and more greed!. If there is a god, it is most disgusted with our un-brotherhood-of-man like behavior and has turned away, so all the holy wars and righteousness of thought are for naught as it is no longer concerned with our petty wars and insipid violence for something we should be sharing for the benefit of ALL!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It takes all of us to complete God!. Leaving out anyone denies that truth is in all of us!. Defending is an attack; turn the other cheek to act from the knowing that you have no malice toward them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
