It is without question that society is slowly deteriorating. Our minds withering away into the depths of stupidity, in which there is no return. How is it that we, human beings, the most intelligent creature in existence can be so far from actually acting like intellectuals? It is this that I believe, I believe that we are on the brink of extinction, that if something is not done soon and we do not start acting like intelligent beings, then humanity will most certainly be destroyed by the acts of itself.
War is a common thing when discussing human history. Ever since the killing power of rock was discovered, we have been fighting each other. Violence and destruction is all that we know.
We come into this world kicking and screaming, violent and ignorant. It is in this time period of growing up where we are supposed to be learning how to be a good person that thinks with logic and reason. Instead, most children are taught how to feel toward another person based on skin tone, how the world is unfair, or are beaten and abused. Literally creating a ticking time bomb, just waiting for one tiny little thing to snap out of place, to fulfill that prophecy that person has been taught and continue on with the countless acts of violence and hate that humanity has brought to this world.
Humans are the cause of all their problems. Nobody takes ownership for the choices they make and act on; always saying it wasn’t their fault, when in fact their actions were entirely their fault. It astounds me how people are so quick to blame something or another person for their actions, the blame game is quite possibly mankind’s favorite game to play. Sure there are countless studies saying why people do what they do, but it always comes down to a choice, a single decision that must be answered by that individual.
There is a small window of hope however, being those people who actually use their brain to benefit the human race. Unfortunately, those people are usually being controlled by some power corrupted dictator or some form of rules that deny them to do what is right, and what possibly could be progress.
When humans stop getting in their own way and take responsibility for their choices, only then can we have progress, and become a thriving, intelligent, and peaceful species.
