In truth people scare me...

Humans are the only race on the planet that do horrible things to one another out of malice and hatred. Why? Because they can. You can never be sure if you can trust someone you don't know. People are so diverse its hard to even begin to tell what someone is like without actually talking to them for a moment. So i have considered myself the quiet observer. Kind of like a bird. I'll sit at a distance, where you can see me, do my own thing. But when you come closer do I flee? I don't know. I feel like I'm rambling on now.

Well all that aside. I have finally come to understand things that some people i knew figured out a long ago. Life on this planet is ongoing. Where as it will not last forever, it will grow and mutate in its own way. Its the only way that we can evolve. Though I have to ask myself. Did humans screw up natural selection? I think so. Creating new life used to be about who was the fittest and the strongest and disease free? Yet humans are opposite. Because we choose our mates based solely on other things. For that sole purpose we are essentially destroying natural selection in our race. We are progressively dumb-ing down our own society. So what is our ultimate goal here? I'm sure our governments would like a society filled with easily manipulated sheep, but I for one don't agree. I believe that knowledge is power, and the more you have the more you know. And the more you know about yourself and the world around you the better you life is. Then again?

Say you are one of the sheep out there? Say you wish to remain ignorant of this world and its happenings. Then what? Your going to be pretty ******** surprised when it comes crashing down around you? Where would you be then? I for one am terrorized of this world that surrounds me. The growing evils to the south of our country and the growing mind control and sheepish people out there is positively horrifying. Though what is one person to do about this? One person can make a difference in our world, all it takes is that one person to start a chain of events that could lead to who knows what?

Who decided that we needed a supreme ruler anyway? Why do we as humans feel the need to be superior then one another? Why do we feel superior then the animals that share this planet with us? The simple truth is that we are NOT superior then anything or anyone else on this planet. We were meant to share this beautiful place with every living creature here! Yet we drive some to the brink of extinction and others we decimate competently. How is that fair? They deserve life as much as any one of us here.

Our greater knowledge and power is exerted over all other living creatures every day, We destroy their homes and consume, consume, consume without thinking twice about what were doing. What is going to happen when there is nothing left? I don't know do you? Which brings me to my final point.

We as humans are smart. That is why we consider ourselves superior. We are capable of understanding the world we live in and where we came from. So if that is so easy tell me... Why can't we find a solution to the biggest problem that this planet suffers from? The human disease. I call us a disease because that is what we are to this planet. A parasite like disease. We have leached on and are not letting go. We will decimate this planet until there is nothing left. We will chop down all the trees and then what will we breathe? Because there will be no air. So excuse me for being a little emotional about this, but i believe if we want our future generations to be able to enjoy this beautiful place then maybe we should start to wake up? Open your eyes look around you. See the world for what it is. No one is going to come and save you and take you away. There is no other earth for us to live on. This is our only one, we have to take care of it. So please friends I beg you. Please don't follow the flow, don't be sheep. They are mindless and will follow their master to death. Do you want that for yourself? No.

So please friends. Open your eyes to this wonderful world. Hear its plea for help. See yourself for what you really are. An animal. You are part of this world too, and so is every other living creature. You are not better then them, And until you understand that, there will be no harmony. People will have their wars and fights. Why? Other creatures do not go to war? Why do we? Why can we not live in harmony and peace? I for one will never see this planet at peace. But we are the generation of change. We can start the change now! So just open your eyes and wake up, break free of the sheep crowd and understand the world you live in and are apart of.
