Awe-inspiring.
There is an interesting proposition that I learned in my humanities class. Human beings are capable of self destruction -- fascinating, no? As a specie, we are able to destroy ourselves and our worlds. How many species actually are capable of this? Okay, really, I guess you can argue a lion can roll over and start chewing on itself, but as a whole, if you look at it from a distance, no other specie is so self-destructive. No other living thing goes through the mental anguish, the turmoil, the conflict that human beings do.
Isn't that just... I don't know... isn't it strange?
Human beings have so much potential. What would happen if we were capable of more? If we had the ability to control free will, even though we might imagine using it to quench the bad, the wrong, the immoral and the demented, what would really happen? If human beings could do everything they ever wanted to do, how would that set in motion the movement of the universe?
If you could say, "I want this person to love me," and they did, would that be for the better for you? If you could say, "I want no human being to ever suffer the way I've suffered," would that make humanity placid? If we could erase world hunger, would we have a definition for starvation?
...Sorry, I'm being totally weird.
It's, like, my brain twisting into the demented form required to become a successful author.
Maybe.
(Note: I bombed final #1, I think. Umm... oh well...?)
