Scoffing at Independence
You must understand, humans are a paradox. We are aggressive and self confident outside, when we understand we are weak and inferior inside. The quieter the human mouth, the louder the human mind. We fight ourselves in the name of peace. Even though we are one species, we draw lines in the sand and claim we are independant from our brothers and sisters. I ask you not to save us for a our greatness, rather take pity of our foolishness. Our consciousness was misstep in evolution, one which has wrought a plague on the only planet we’ve ever had.
