Humanity

We seem to be the most weird creatures on Earth, humans. What are we looking for in our lives? What do we seek to find and where do we want to get? I've just watched another movie, convincing me that the road the humanity has taken a long time ago leads nowhere else but self destruction. From what I can analyse we are gradually moving to degradation and annihilation of the most important things. Progress for progress, that's what is on. We are moving from one "age" to another in our history, and with every new level humanity is reaching it becomes more violent and careless of all that surrounds it, paying attention only to things it has achieved but not how they were achieved and the price that was paid. Humans invented powder, numerous means of weapons, including nuclear and hydrogen bombs and then started thinking what to do with this stuff and how to protect itself from its "brainchildren". Just like with firearms. First they were invented, then bulletproof vests. Why the hell do we need this? We became maniacal for inventions that would simplify our life and being, while in reality they create more problems than we could have imagined. If in ancient times an archer carried a bow with 10 arrows he could kill only 10 people, while now automatic firearms can kill hundreds, just keep recharging them and they will do their monstrous thing. We've lost touch with harmony and the essence of life hundreds of years ago. But the thing that makes me mad about humans as a mass is that we first destroy or do something bad, then try to fix it, mend it, save it. We've killed off animals, plants then thought of the means to preserve the pathetically small numbers of those who miraculously managed to survive! Why can't we for once think in advance and refrain from making the same mistakes we always did? Take this large hadron collider thing. What is it invented for? What benefit will it bring to humans or this entire planet? It only arouses fear that it can create black holes that will swallow our globe in one peace! Where does this curiosity come from in people? I start to think that minds need to be stopped at some point, since the results of their activity sometimes are devastating, even if we find them so many years after. And always when we do what we do, we only think about ourselves, as if no other species occupied this planet apart from us. Urbanize everything that is possible, buy 10 houses if you can afford it and never come to think that once, a long time ago, this was home for animals, forced to flee our automobiles, noise, pollution. Come to think of it, we live in dirt, we breathe dirt, we are in contact with it every single moment. And we are the only ones to blame, we get what we deserve. Unfortunately, we are not the only ones suffering, since we make other species suffer much more than we do ourselves as we are too blind to see what we are doing to us and others. We leave no space to wildlife, we hunt and then call animals beasts just because they want to fight back their territory, their life. I often think whether there is an animal worse than a human and I can't find it. We are the worst, because we have lost ourselves and no longer know what we are here for. Animals have instincts which they follow and which tell them who we are, while we are torn between our instincts on one hand and on the other our ability to think/create/remember and do all those things animals can't. But we still haven't chosen our priorities in this matter. And until we do, I fear we will destroy everything living on planet Earth... Who can stop this? Nobody...
