The ubiquitous syndrome of misplaced hubris

It is not naive to say that there is the strong syndrome of misplaced hubris when today we meet people and speak of any given subject on social fabric...the wrinkles of the fabric is getting further crushed instead of smoothing… the contents of the subject is mostly partisan coloured with the tinge of unknown, stoked by delusions of assiduously weaved fears of the facts and fictions.. ‘we the people’, as like past eons, is going through the same cycle of getting mesmerized by a handful few, with ‘the information’, toggling on our individual weak areas of the instinct for survival….  Regurgitating the past, but with a difference... the retrospect and the present  analyses  with a flair of truth, the not so truth and the concoction of the ‘hubris truth’- which may not be the fact.. new dimensions are emerging in all diaspora of ‘the information’.  

Are we the only civilized species - as we who could leave the Earth’s boundary and went  into the space, of-course with our understanding of where the space’s boundary starts from the Earth’s  - in the universe.. again it will be a misplaced hubris to say so considering the sheer number of billion of stars in our own Milky Way galaxy – our sun is but only one of the yellow dwarf stars formed some 4.6 billion years ago , and there are but a billion more galaxies, still counting and getting added, albeit not to forget those that are beyond the horizon of the observable universe of 13.8 billion years old... in this wholeness we are but that ‘pale blue dot’ of Carl Sagan, and are made up of the same star stuff, our uniqueness of simple yet profound..

Do we need to tear the social fabric due to misplaced hubris of but for the constricted vision... 

'We the People' are as vast as the universe to say the least, let’s be so…
