Time Capsule of Doom!
Hey Clawsters. Time for a trip down memory lane, back to high school when i wrote this. It's supposed to be a persuasive essay on the topic of Life. What is is, well, just read it.
Current human life has no meaning. Life has a natural order, but humanity has rid itself of natural order so thoroughly that we have no direction save our own chaotic impulses and newly-born survival skills, such as greed, dishonesty, vengeance, and efficiency. Every other creature on earth naturally establishes an equilibrium with its surrounding environment, taking from it, and giving back in its own way. Modern humans, however, move to an area and multiply, using up every natural resource there is until they have no choice but to spread to new areas. Modern humanity is a virus upon the earth, and it's only a matter of time until we destroy ourselves.
Pride is a dangerous thing. Humans are so arrogant that we think we are not animals. We are so arrogant we think human life is more important than that of a worm, which keeps earth's vegetation growing, and more important than that of thousands of acres of rainforest, which keeps earth's mammals, even the ungrateful children of Adam, breathing oxygen. We have become pure consumers, choosing to not even replenish the earth with our bodies after death, instead encasing our corporeal husks in protective shells of metal and wood, defying nature's attempt to get any good out of us, all because we are so prideful as to preserve our dead.
I suppose now I'll propose a solution, though since my target audience is all too human, pride will likely enough keep this document from having any meaningful impact. I propose a fresh start. Perhaps, what with human progress being as random as it is, if we evolve from monkeys once again, we won't follow the same path, instead continuing to evolve into what we were meant to be, a more powerful race of primates, or if not, we can hopefully die out, never to plague the earth again. I haven't even begun on how to accomplish a rebirth, and already my brain is informing me that basic human instincts don't want humans to die out, striving for continuation of the species at any cost. Now then, what's the least ghastly way of ridding the planet of every single human life? Personally, I'm partial to a supervirus.
