humans...
I wrote this ....to warn, and to urge....
Pitiful fools...this world is full of fools...panicky, ignorant, fearful beings who would sell out on their own kin without a second thought. Easily swayed by material possessions and by the promises of fame and fortune falsely proclaimed by those in sway of evil and greed. It sickens me. I wish I could just leave. Leave the whole human race behind. In about ten years it won't matter, anyhow. Those of us intelligent enough to advance human technology have brought weapons of mass destruction into the world. Man's violent nature towards things foreign will eventually bring earth's various nations into nuclear war, which will in turn lead to mankind's eventual demise. The aftereffects of such a holocaust would bring devestation to all forms of life on earth; however, such mass destruction would be a small price to pay in return for riddance of the human race, the one species that singlehandedly brought more death, suffering, and pollution into existence than any other form of life on earth. Hopefully, years after the last traces of human "civilization" have disappeared and the deadly radiation unleashed during nuclear warfare has degraded to a tolerable chemical state, those forms of life that are left of earth's once flourishing flora and fauna will have a chance to recover from the ravages of man.
It fills me with sorrow to know that the small fraction of the human population still endowed with such virtues as wisdom and caring, who are relatively untainted by the atrocities of human progress, shall ultimately be wiped out with the rest of us. Mayhaps they will eventually band together and try to stop man's foolish ways before all is lost to corruption.
What stayed with you?
A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.
