Man-Nature-and Chess

Submitted by mozerdozer on Tue, 10/14/2008 at 5:24pm.

            When one speaks of humanity, the idea is fundamental that this is something that seperates and distinguishes man from nature. In reality, however, there is no such separation: natural qualities and those called properly " human " are indivisibly grown together. Man , in his highest and most noble capacities, is wholly nature and embodies its uncanny dual character. Those of his abilities which are awsome and considered inhuman are perhaps the fertile soil out of which alone all humanity can grow.     PLAY CHESS

Actually, the idea of "humanity" is to separate the human from the beast. We alone can reason and make choices. My cats will hunt mice and birds and other prey for sport and have no compunctions about doing them injury. But humans can decide whether they want to commit acts that hurt others. Unfortunately, most humans opt to commit them. This is why we have wars and more wars, and when those wars are over, we make more war.
