Humans Screwed Up Essay, Research Paper

PEOPLE ARE THE MOST DISGUSTING CREATURES ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. YET WE ARE CLASSIFIED AS ANIMALS. ANIMALS, IN THE SENSE THAT WE TEND TO THINK OF THEM IN, AS NON-HUMAN ANIMALS, ARE BEAUTIFUL WHERE WE COULD NEVER BE.

HUMANS ARE THE ONLY ANIMALS THAT TRULY ALTER THEIR ENVIRONMENT AND MAKE THEMSELVES A COMPLETELY ARTIFICIAL LIVING SPACE. WE PAVE OVER OUR FIELDS AND PLOW DOWN OUT FORESTS. WE PILLAGE THE WORLD THAT WE MUST LIVE IN AND ESSENTIALLY TURN IT INTO A CEMENT AND TAR WASTELAND. PEOPLE KILL FOR NO REASON AND COMMIT MURDER, EVEN UNTO THEIR OWN KIND.

ANIMALS ON THE OTHER HAND SIMPLY LIVE. THEY CONSUME ONLY WHAT THEY MUST TO SURVIVE AND THEY LEAVE THE REST ALONE. A LION THAT ISN’T HUNGRY, FOR EXAMPLE, WON’T KILL. ANIMALS MAY BUILD HOMES, BUT THEY ARE BIODEGRADABLE HOMES THAT DON’T CLUTTER AND DESTROY THE LANDSCAPE. ANIMALS LIVE IN PEACE AND HARMONY AND THEY NATURALLY BALANCE EACH OTHER OUT. THERE IS A CIRCLE OF LIFE THAT WOULD BE MUCH MORE CIRCULAR IF HUMANS WEREN’T THERE TO STRETCH IT AND MOLD IT TO SUIT OUR FANCY.

THE HUMAN IS BLOODTHIRSTY, IT DESTROYS ITS SURROUNDINGS AND EVENTUALLY ITSELF, AND YET WE CLAIM TO BE THE INTELLIGENT LIFE FORMS OF THE PLANET. THE GIFT OF A LARGER BRAIN CAPACITY HAS TURNED OUT TO BE A PANDORA’S BOX, WE USE IT BECAUSE WE CAN’T HELP IT, AND IT CAUSES NO GOOD. MAYBE IT IS THAT THE CAPACITY TO THINK HASN’T BEEN USED ENOUGH. OR PERHAPS IT IS THAT PEOPLE CAN’T THINK ANYMORE WHEN THEY LIVE IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT THINKS FOR THEM. IT SEEMS THAT THE GIFTS GIVEN TO US HAVE CAUSED US TO BE CORRUPT DESTROYERS OF ALL LIFE.

HUMANS COULD TURN AROUND AND BE THE FORCE THAT SAVES LIFE IF WE COULD CARE JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE AND THINK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT WE CREATE AND WHAT EFFECT IT WILL HAVE. IF WE COULD CONSIDER THE LYNX THAT PATROLS THE WOODS AND RELIES ON THE SMALLER LIFE THEN MAYBE WE WOULD NOT BUILD A ROAD THERE WHERE POLLUTANTS AND TRAFFIC CAN KILL ALL OF THE WILDLIFE. PERHAPS FOR EVERY THING THAT WE TAKE FROM NATURE WE CAN GIVE SOMETHING BACK. FOR EVERY ACRE OF LAND WE PAVE OVER WE SHOULD REPLANT A FOREST ON ANOTHER ACRE OF LAND THAT WE PREVIOUSLY TOOK.

IT IS FAIRLY IMPROBABLE THAT ANY OF THAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE THOUGH, NEAR OR FAR. HUMANS ARE STUBBORN AND STUCK IN THEIR WAYS. ANIMALS EVOLVE WHERE WE DON’T. IF THEY HAVE TO CHANGE IN ORDER TO SURVIVE THEN THEY DO OR ELSE THEY DIE. DARWIN’S NATURAL SELECTION REMOVES THE SPECIES THAT AREN’T FIT FOR THIS WORLD AND MAYBE THAT MEANS HUMANS WILL BE REMOVED SOON. ONE CAN ONLY HOPE SO, FOR THE SAKE OF THE REST OF THE PLANET. WOULDN’T IT BE FUNNY TO SEE THE ANIMALS TAKE OVER ALL THE PLACES THAT HUMANS ONCE CALLED HOME? WE COULD LOOK DOWN FROM ABOVE AND SEE PIGS SLEEPING IN OUR BEDS, AND IT WOULD SET US IN OUR PLACE- NOT HERE, AS WE EXIST NOW.
