The quandary of humanity. · 11:08pm Jan 10th, 2023
You know what? After existing for nearly thirty years, I've had a lot of time to think about everything. I've had and still have plenty of time to do that. The longer I live on this planet, the more I question everything. Laws, religion, politics, health and safety, and above all, humanity.
This does not mean that I would forego my sense of good, for goodness sake. You can say whatever you want about humans, and I'm entitled to that as a human. Oh, but you better not speak ill of your own kind. If you even dare have the audacity, the nerve to imply, let alone outright accuse humanity of destroying life and humanity, then you're forever branded as a conspiracy buff by humans who don't even care to have a rational conversation with you half of the time; they just want to give you a label and then be done with you.
I'll guarantee you that these are also the same people who will forget all about it after a few hard drinks, some laughs, and a good night's sleep, with the impending hangover that might ensue the following morning. I feel as if I'm the only one who's brave enough to question everything without fear of persecution. Maybe I've become too aware of humanity's evil that I would be remiss to ignore it. Maybe it's another reason altogether; who knows?
I simply understand that it's easy to dismiss what you can't comprehend. Humans despise questions, apparently. They hate it when you're inquisitive. The acme of intelligence isn't by knowing but by asking questions. Questions give you knowledge, and knowledge isn't always privy to everybody. Oh, they're really going to like me, aren't they? Oh yeah.
We often toil on God's domain; we trifle ourselves in matters we cannot begin to understand. Manipulating life is what's causing all of our problems right now. Haven't we realized this yet? Human hubris is truly the poison of this world; this I declare.
Y'know, i do not want to open any can of worms here or start a debate, but have some solace in the thought that if humanity weren't asking questions, we wouldn't progress as a species at all. We thrive only because there were exceptional individuals who pushed the norms. But it's just not for everyone, to try find new answers, and not to use already formulated ones
We fear unknown, and fear to acknowledge that we might actually understand not that much. I see this hubris as a reflectory self-defensive mechanism

But it's also this hubris that makes us blind. I believe that stupidity can be divided into two different kinds: Malicious, which is where you're aware of what you're doing and why it's stupid, then that wouldn't be stupid; it would be planned.
Then there's a calloused, which is more or less because of one's pride and inability to accept their shortcomings.
To be truthful, I'm shocked that somebody actually wanted to respond.
