“Look, yours is a very young species. You are like children. You are the toddlers of the universe. So you go around doing things that you know are not good for you, because it seems like more fun in the moment. Or you simply forget what you’ve been told. This is the story of your species’ collective experience on Earth. You’ve let it be your experience as an individual, too, even though you know better. You’re not just observing non-beneficial behaviors in others, you’re actually engaging in such behaviors yourself. But now it will be beneficial for you to set aside your childish behaviors.”
― Neale Donald Walsch, Conversations with God, Book 4: Awaken the Species
