Ethics - Some Facts

Sivananda said it, so have others:
Unless we evolve spiritually
Humans will destroy the whole planet

Over time, we began as non-ethical
Then we progressed to infra-ethical
( The state of the animal kingdom)
Next wasn't Ethical Evolution, naturally
But anti-ethical in intelligent beings!

Why are intelligent beings anti-ethical
They permit hurting of others, 
While not tolerating such hurt themselves!
Thus spake Aurobindo 
In "The Human Cycle" & "The Life Divine"
But you will argue The Bible said it too
I agree with you, but weep at haters amidst us
