I often wondered why it is that so many people act in ways that hurt others. A leader taking their people to war, or killing their own with gas or a lover distroying their mate with lies!
In nature one thing is evedent. Survival over all things. Watch the natural world and you will see indiference when an offspring is killed, eaten in front of the eyes of the mother. Life is cruel, uncaring and cold.
As humans we have an option. We can be caring or cold. How many of you have been cold to the feelings of someone you professed to love in order to be happy yourselves?
This is the same drive which nature uses to survive.
Some of us care tho. We would sacrifice ourselfs to protect thoses we love. This is not a "Natural" act.
As humans we have the option of free-will. Act as an animal or act as a higher being.
What is correct? If we are to survive as a race we have to care for others, for ourselves.
As humans, we want to be loved, needed but most of us are unwilling to give that same energy back, we fear it will weaken us.
Think on this, those of you who have pets. They dont care about you, they come to you when you offer food. You believe they love you. But the person who opts to love you is left cold and hungry in the dark.
Think about it! We are animals who have the chance to transend our roots. Be the one who begins the evolution!
