The Human Condition.

holeg2212 · 01-28-2009, 04:09 PM

Since the very first humanoids/humans have walked the Earth. We have wanted to Kill each other... Is our race destined to head down this path forever? What makes humans the most evil creatures on Earth? We have a concept of pain and suffering and death, yet we still rape, murder and torture. We're forever searching for new ways to kill each other... Where is the logic in our being?

Do you think we are destined down this path until our ultimate demise?
Or can we change...

When you think about it..
animals other then humans have weapons..
eg. sharp teeth, claws, ability to lift large objects...
yet humans dont have these... but they do have the ability to invent.. so our weapon is our mind..
i guess its only natural to fight with 'our' advantages..
so is this why we make guns and kill each other.

Animals fight for food and survival... Human beings fight and kill over jelousy, religion, for pleasure etc.

in some cases animals kill for fun (like a cat killing a bird or mouse or a killer whale playing with seal before he eats it)

but they have no conept on the suffering on the other animal... The difference is the conscious choice between right and wrong. The fact is that humans should know better, they should know its wrong and insanely stupid to race each other to the mass of nuclear weapons... but we do it anyway...

Man is inflicted with the freedom of having a choice in life. And there are truly only 2 paths in life, good or evil. The next is always a little better than his/her predecessor in all things so kids inherit good or evil. Without proper morality or conscience it grows and infects other weakened minded individuals like a sickness. An old dog can learn new tricks, but he must be inclined to do so, or it takes a LOT of work.

We somehow got through the Cold War without blowing each other up, I think we can survive. The main idea is to open up dialogue instead of dropping bombs.
