When Did We Forget

If we were created, as I believe we were created, to help anyone in need
why is there so much cupidity…so much avarice and greed?
If we were created, as I believe we were created to love and not to hate…why is our world filled with so much animus…why do we discriminate?
If we were created, as I believe we were seated to heal…not to harm
why when there are disagreements do we choose to fight and take up arms?
If we were created, as I believe we were created, to build…not to destroy
why are there wars where we drop bombs on little girls and boys.
Helping those in need…
Loving…not hating
Healing…doing no harm…
Building…not destroying
Are these simply concepts that have become outdated…
or
Have so many of us simply forgotten why we were created?
