This World that we've created...
Early this morning while sipping my coffee it came to me. We call humans an evolved species, we call ourselves superior to everyother race on this planet.
We're wrong.
We have de-evolved. We thrust unto upon ourselves a world which there is no need to live in, setting unattainable standards for ourselves which we really don't need to reach. We suffer and endure pain which no other breathing animal has to go through. All because we have a concious mind.
It is what cripples us. We prolong our life and find new ways to "cheat nature" in order to live longer, but we are really cheating ourselves. Had science not existed, I never would have been born. I would have died suffocated in my mother's womb, and perhaps as I see things now it would be better.
What is love indeed? In the animal world there is no love. Animals have sex for the sole reason of procreation, and that's where it ends. No extra baggage is thrust upon us in the form of overwhelming emotions. Love is only a handicap that we create in order to justfiy and rationalise the stimulus of sex. Perhaps I may say this because I'm jaded, butif we think about it that's what it is.
We live in a world that we have artificially created with tools we have no real need of. We have to get degrees, have a good career, have money. All these are hurdles WE have created, all these are obstacles we have set for ourselves. Why is it that humans have to make life so unnecessarily difficult? Why can't we just spread our wings and fly carefree, like the birds that soar the skies living in the present? We spend so much time worrying about tomorrow, that we miss what's right in front of us.
In essence humanity is drowning, weighed down by its own dead weights. We tie a boulder to our feet and willingly throw ourselves in the sea, and even though we can untie it at any time, we choose to swim through life as we struggle to breathe and keep afloat.
And sometimes, the weight that we set upon us is so heavy, that we drown.
And we never reappear again.
VERy nice info bro.. upvoted
I have many of the same concerns about humanitie’s future as well. Sometimes I often find it hard to ‘look on the bright side of things’. The fact of the matter is that a meteor could strike the planet or a super volcano can erupt and all life as we know it will cease to exist. One way to look at is we’re just lucky, although many people waste their time, we enjoy a quality of life seemingly unobtainable for any species in our planet’s history. Our modern society does seem to be filled with people working like cogs in a machine but those people are also able to live in free countries, guaranteed the persuit of happiness and protected from the dangers that most people face in third world counties. It may seem like people are devolving but science has never been advancing at such a rapid pace, and seemingly neither has humanities possible demise. However I believe this period of stagnation will be superceeded by a unification of nations around the world. At least to the point where war is frowned upon by the majority of nations. In the future when resources are running low and the earth is becoming ravaged by the effects of climate change major world governments will be forced to advance our knowledge of space travel. The very premise of mutual self destruction via destroying our world or allowing the fresh water supply to run out will force every nation on a similar path of scientific advancement. I believe technogly is rapidly moving us towards a space age unlike anything we could have possibly imagined. When mankind finally evolves to the point of not hating one another, the only thing left to focus our energy on is bettering our lives, advancing our species and saving the planet that we’re going to eventually be forced to escape one day.
