We're definitely the superior species. We control everything on earth that can be controlled. The problem isn't us as a species, it's that we've allowed ourselves to be controlled by the absolute worst examples of the human race.
And it's next to impossible to escape them and become the kind of people we could be.
But we should never give up hope, regardless. There is good in humanity, but it needs room to breathe.
"we've allowed ourselves to be controlled by the absolute worst examples of the human race" - well said! The role models of our society are off. The educational system is off. So many things are not what they should be. People are not living at their true potential and so on... Yes, there is good in humanity and hope is the last to die. ;0)
Very well said! Humanity is unfortunate in that, the worst among us seem to be also be the most highly motivated among us - to our detriment. They've made it easy for themselves and increasingly difficult for all others to make it in this world.
