Re: TAPS,
I believe that we can become wholer. But it is a kind of "How high is up?" situation. We are very complex, and over a lifetime, we install a whole lot of beliefs in order to manage life and what living in the world brings us.

Re: Kabu,
The key to this kind of profound change is that human beings are actually 'hard-wired' about very little: most of what we believe we know is programming that can be altered. The stuff at a DNA level... even that can be adjusted. Primates are intensely territorial, for instance... but we can choose to be less so.

It is a really really difficult thing to do since we are conditioned from birth to believe and to follow certain cultural, social and religious structures. Perhaps even before birth, perhaps some ways and ideas are part of our DNA after millions of years.
You do a very good job of explaining here, just what and why things are so difficult within our own small patch let alone World Wide.
