Manifest Destiny

To think that we come into a process and fix anything because it was broken by someone is an assumption that we conferred on ourselves in order to inflate our value toward the process. We do not fix anything; we evolve, create, innovate, and move forward—Fixing is a supposition that automatically assign wrongness to someone or something else. Rather than assigning wrongdoings, our purpose should always be forward looking, what can we learn and move on. Assigning Falses is a process of backward looking; it is a process of living in the past. The energy that cost us to assign the blame can be best spent on fixing the problem. To think that we are only better because someone else did poorly is to affirm that our values are predicated on failures of others. Manifest Destiny is the assumption that we are better and you MUST live the way we live because you are better for that; how arrogant can we get?
