Humans Not Being

“If all insects on Earth disappeared, within 50 years all life on Earth would end. If all human beings disappeared from the Earth, within 50 years all forms of life would flourish.” ―Biologist Jonas Salk

We're only viable to ourselves, not to the rest of nature. We've added heat, weight, toxins, and many other things we're not willing to face. We may have created god in order to make us feel better about ourselves. Maybe we're not a creation, but rather a mutation. Like spam with a plan, meat on a mission, running our mouth on delusional memory. No animal does to its members what we do to ours. If the planet's lucky we won't be here long. I'm being nice. :-)

Until we start facing ourselves, and our species-wide behavior, we have no hope of becoming any better. To start a discussion about human beings anywhere else is delusional, and most certainly a colossal waste of time. Stare at your dog and then stare in the mirror. Try to learn from your dog. You'll either see it or you won't. Surely we can and must get better.
