cannibals we are

Recently I saw a documentary about cannibalism. They explored cases from ancient tribal rituals to serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. The normal human reaction to such a thing is that it is possibly the worst thing that can be done by a human. I pondered this and thought ; aren't we all cannibals? Jesus Christ demonstrated with perfection a selfless life; full obedience to God's will. No one has done this perfectly since. The majority of us live a cannibalistic life. IN FACT OUR SPIRITUAL PERFORMANCE OF CANNIBALISM IS WORSE THAN SOME OF THE TRIBAL RITUALS I SAW ON THE SHOW. The Dieri people ate small pieces of their deceased relatives out of respect; to take some of that loved one into themselves. In my mind a far worse form of cannibalism is an addiction to pornography; the willing exploitation of someone's daughter for your own need to feel affirmed in your masculinity. What about sex with prostitutes, pedophilia, homosexuality, or for that matter casual sex in general? There is no regard here for the object of their desire. There is only a pleasing of one's own spritual appetite; a consuming of another for their own need. This reality of course does not just play out in sexuality. Most musicians are in a band to be seen for what they can do individually. Most employees are not concerned with the survival of the company they work for and most citizens of a nation are not concerned with the survival of their country. Most people hope they can "consume" and retire before anything bad happens. It is interesting to observe the Dieri; their sexuality existed in the family unit and they worked and hunted as a group for the survival of the tribe; Looks like we've come a long ways from the primitive days?
