AN OLD MAN LOOKS BACK

 


I have no regard for the human race.  We are a virus on this earth, destroying everything we touch.   In our conceit, we try to control nature for our benefit.  Like a virus, our population grows unchecked, and we constantly evolve into new strains, more resistant and more destructive. 





In our greed, we have decimated the forest, polluted the land, water, and the air.  We have brought about most animals on this earth to the verge of extinction. 





War is our nature.  There are only two animal forms on this earth that commit war and genocide against their own kind: humans, and chimpanzees which share 98% of human DNA.




We readily kill our own kind in the name of our gods, some ethnic supremacy agenda, or to amass power and wealth. The powerful survive with no thought for the week and the vulnerable.




There is a strain in every human being capable of extreme cruelty.   Millions celebrated the bomb that killed 140,000 people in Hiroshima and 70,000 men, women, children, babies - and no birds sang - in Nagasaki, Japan. 





In reality, this is who we are.

  1. Humans are predators. Left unchecked, our predatory natures run rampant, with horrifying results.

COMMENT: Ben Franklin said, "I imagine a man must have a good deal of vanity who believes, and a good deal of boldness who affirms, that all doctrines he holds are true, and all he rejects are false."
