Humans
There are smart people. There are averagely intelligent people. Then there are dimmer witted people. Then there are stupid people.
And then there are people.
All people, in general, are stupid. Including you and me.
Somehow, no matter how clever human being claims we are, no matter how developed our brains are supposed to be and all, we are actually getting dumber.
To put it simply, the smarter we get, the stupider we become.
Why do I make such an apparently bold statement? It's simple.
All organisms on Earth, animals, plants or fungi, adapt themselves, such that they can live well in conditions, favourable or not for survival, and bare their offspring.
We humans have completely lost this ability and instead adapt the environment to suit us. And we harm it in the process.
All orgamisms on Earth, animals, plants or fungi, live and reproduce. Their purpose of life is just to live life and reproduce. To ensure the continuity of its species.
We humans always question the purpose of life. The meaning of life. I mean, just shut up man. You've been given life, just let live and enjoy. And ENSURE THE CONTINUITY OF OUR SPECIES.
All organisms do everything they can to ensure the survival and continuity of their individual species.
We humans, on the other hand, are doing quite the the opposite. We kill. War, terrorism, violence, abuse... We create holes in the ozone layer. We pollute the environment, so that our descendents can be born deformed and live in a polluted world where the air has colour, the rain can corrode, the rivers are black, the fishes are sick, and the ground has radiation. We use up our descendents' resources. We clear forests. We drill their oil, use up their fossil fuels. We cause global warming, and, like my first point has stated, humans most probably won't be able to adapt to the heat. Water levels will rise, causing floods for our descendents.
Oh, and I am constantly hearing from a certain mad man in the U.S. who apparently is even madder than me. God knows when he will decide to wage war with the whole world and start a mass nuclear strike. Then, I am sure he will be hiding somewhere underground...
And not just do we harm and threaten the continuity of our species, we harm and threaten the continuity of other species. We clear forests. Kill animals. Cut off the fins of sharks. We overfish. We threaten to destroy their habitats by pollution, creating deserts...
We are selfish and stupid. And from the looks of it, we won't improve, and neither can I or anyone in the world help. Because even I am selfish and stupid.
And as bad as it may sound coming from me, you are too.
(Unless, of course, you live in a cave somewhere and don't use electricity. And you musn't even create fire for warmth or light at night. Because, even then, you will be releasing gases which will harm the environment. If other animals don't need fire, neither do you.
But if you really are exactly what I have just described, I question why you will even be reading this.)
