Homosapien. - by Zibah Black

HomosapienThe human race. Humans are a pretty interesting species.Probably the most interesting one I've ever encountered. They have the ability to create almost anything they can imagine. They build cities from the ground.They send machines into space.They discover cures for diseases.They create art, music, languages, entire civilizations. They have somehow managed to study the world around them and understand things that once seemed impossible.And yet... They are also responsible for most of the chaos they complain about.Humans create their own problems. Then somehow find someone else to blame for them.Think about it. Humans created money. Then decided that money would determine who gets to eat, who gets to live comfortably, who gets opportunities and who doesn't. Then they spend their entire lives chasing the thing they created. Some work themselves to death for it.Some steal for it.Some kill for it.Some even kill themselves because they don't have enough of it.Something we invented became something we couldn't live without. Fascinating... Humans created ballistic weapons capable of wiping out entire cities.Weapons powerful enough to kill thousands, sometimes millions, in a matter of moments. Then they create more weapons because they are afraid of the weapons someone else created. And when those weapons are used...They blame the person holding them. Humans created religion.Then divided themselves into groups based on it. They have fought wars.Killed people.Destroyed communities.Hated people they've never met. All in the name of the god they claim teaches them love. And somehow, when the blood dries...They blame God. Humans create systems.Create ideologies.Create borders.Create hierarchies.Create rules. Then spend generations fighting over the things they created themselves. It's almost fascinating.We create something.Give it power.Become controlled by it. Then complain about being controlled.And the strangest part?Humans are incredibly intelligent.They know the consequences of their actions. They know what war does.They know what greed does.They know what hatred does.They know what destroying the environment does. They know what happens when power is placed in the wrong hands.Yet they still do it.Again.And again.And again.Sometimes I wonder if humans are actually trying to solve their problems...Or if they simply enjoy creating new ones. Humans are the enemy.Every problem beneath the earth seems to somehow lead back to them...humans The wars.The greed.The hatred.The inequality.The destruction.The exploitation.The endless hunger for more. And yet, despite everything... Humans still wake up every morning and continue.They fall in love.They have children.They build.They destroy.They pray.They fight.They forgive.They repeat the same mistakes their ancestors made and call it progress. They create problems and invent solutions.Then create new problems from those solutions. It's almost like humanity is trapped inside a cycle of its own making. And perhaps that's the most fascinating thing about Homo sapiens. They are intelligent enough to understand what they're doing...but somehow never intelligent enough to stop. So I keep wondering. After all the money, power, religion, technology, wars, inventions, discoveries and destruction... What exactly do humans want?
