People are too smart for their own good. And still they are so goddamn dumb.
All the other animals on our planet are content to just be, as we are before we learn societal graces that are appropriate to our region and time. But nope, that's not enough for us. We have to be happy. So, we worry ourselves into nervous breakdowns over things like social standings, taxes, which government is mad at the other one like some fucking soap opera. Look, guys, we're all going to die. How much of your life have you enjoyed? We take so much for granted today. All this religion (which I think will be the end of humanity eventually, or maybe soon) and ideals people are willing to kill over...why? Put things in perspective.
The ant colony mentality that socities, particularly ours, hold so dear is maddening to me. Do you realize that we are meant to scavenge and make fire and babies? Really. So next time you start freaking out over some test or what so-and-so is going to think, just sit back and think about it. You are a glorified monkey. This society we have is ending natural selection. People who, by all natural means ought to be dead, are alive. People die to make room for new people. But some people have enough pieces of paper that they don't have to be, at least or a little longer. Soon we'll evolve out of our natural instincts and reflexes, then, with all the shit you can just get delivered right to you, we won't even leave our homes. And is this really what we want?
