Ahhhh Humans.
The ruling species, right? Why? What have we done for the planet, as rulers, that the dinosaurs couldn't do? Eukarya animalia chordata mammalia primates hominidae homo sapien is what we are, or, in english:Our cells have a nucleus, we cannot produce our own food, we have a backbone, we have live birth, and carry milk, we have opposable thumbs, walk upright, are all the same, and are wise, or sentient. I'd like to know who decided to classify us like that. We are NOT wise, nor are we all the same, and neither are we the carriers of backbones. We are a weak, prideful, disoriented race that cannot agree on anything, and sees every individual as different. We take, and take, and never want to give back, which ends up killing more of us than any other idea on the planet. We are not happy with ourselves until we make others unhappy, and we cannot take care of one planet, but we insist on trying to find others. We're trying to find new toys and inventions to use, like cars, and trains, and planes, and weapons of mass destruction, and destruction of fossil fuels, and creation of solar, electric, and hydrogen energy. But, we cannot seem to fix the one economy, in one country, or eliminate a single illness that kills billions per year, or even eliminate something as meager as homelessness in a third world country less in mass than the average Nation-state. We have managed, however, to singlehandedly cause the most destruction on this planet. More damage has been caused by the human race living, than by a meteor crashing onto the planet, and wiping out all life forms on the planet at the time in seconds. We have managed to cause more damage in the past 100 years on the planet, than has ever been done on the planet in several billion years. Plague has not wiped out as many people as one war has, and Plague is supposed to be one of the great apocalyptic ends.
So, why are we dominating the planet? Because of our thirst for domination. That is the sole meaning behind the existence of the human race. Think about it. What is war for? Domination. One country or province must prove it is better than another. Or others. Politics? Domination. NASA? Domination. Industrialization? Domination. Social class? Domination. Celebrities? Domination. Clubs/Organizations? Domination. Gangs? Domination. Police Force? Domination. Sex? Domination. Punishment? Domination. That's all we want, isn't it? We want to Dominate. To be better. To be on top. To show we are worthy of pride, and lust, and gluttony. Even Religious Zealots have it all wrong. They want Domination too! Going to church, recruiting people to the cause, donations to the pot, praying to win the lottery, proclaiming all the world a sin, and that they alone will reach the Holy Land. D.O.M.I.N.A.T.I.O.N.
And what comes of Domination? Fear.
Fear if loss, of failure, of inability, of not being good enough, of being DominatED.
And it's these things that cause us to crave domination even more, which causes us to fail in the end.
The human race as a whole needs to stop, take a breath, and look at itself. If every country just kept to itself, nobody would have any problems. If every country were made inable to lie, everyone would be happy. Everything would be sorted.
But they can't. Because WE can't.
Humans have to Dominate, remember?
*sigh*
