Q:Why can't we just realize the reality and truth of the matter and humble ourselves?
Generally speaking the human race has advanced into a complex organism that what it used to be during the Neolithic and Medieval Ages. Truly as you stated we are a bunch of cells, tissues, and organs all attached to each other biologically. However I would consider the current topic of yours more of sociological or psychological because the quality of being humble("humbleness") can be derived and completely understood with an analysis or the person(s) mental processes. But the question still remains and that is why are humans not humble individuals? More or less many human beings do not understand the true value of life and that everything does not need to be regulated by currency (money). I do not know if you ever asked yourself these questions, why do humans need to increase their salaries, is driving five types of cars necessary to live, or better yet is a mansion with 30 bedrooms normal or extremely excessive? Again my point comes to why cannot humans settle to be average individuals instead of trying to be the richest or the most powerful in the world.
Take for an example, why do people become doctors, and if so do they do it for the money or to truly become a doctor to help sick patients. From one perspective you can say that a doctor is equivalent to the strongest animal within the animal kingdom and an elementary school teacher is considered the blade of grass that you discussed throughout you blog posting. Again from a monetary perspective, the average salary for a doctor is well over 300,000 dollars. Honestly what can anyone do with 300,000 dollars except living an extremely luxurious life, but is it necessary? What I mean is that are humans within the 21st century more motivated to make an excessive amount money, living the "high life" or is it more appropriate to live a normal life, having a normal family, working normal hours (40 per week), and last but not least earning a normal salary. Indeed more and more individuals are earning more graduate and professional level degrees which is excellent b/c our future generations are a lot more educated, which means that humans are becoming smarter and the world is developing on a daily basis.
However to get back to your question, why cannot humans humble themselves? Honestly I personally do not know the direct answer to your question but I hope my examples gave your a better understanding of this matter from a financial or monetary perspective. However if more individuals such as economists, psychologists, sociologists,and perhaps millionaires could all collaborate to derive a direct answer from their thoughts, then I will assume that your question can be correct answered.
