Being Human

I have to say that I'm becoming more ashamed by the day of being human.

But I do accept that human beings can't really help being what they are, despicable self appointed 'super beings' that think they're the ultimate life form. Created in the image of equally pernicious gods that direct them in the guise of a thousand religions to kill, maim, swindle, rob and generally cause harm to each other and every other living thing within reach.

To even begin to imagine we are any different from animals is objectionable. The only thing that's different between us and every other animal on this planet is that we have more intelligence, that's all. In all other respects we are the same, we breathe, we eat, we defecate, we sleep, we even procreate in exactly the same way.

Our desperate search for life elsewhere in the universe is merely our frantic desire to extend the reach of our morbid lust for other life forms to exploit, dominate and kill.

That we are a product of nature is a matter of fact, as is the fact that nature doesn't always get it right.
