Sometimes I wonder what gives us the inflated sense of superiority as a race that allows us to plunder cross species, countries, generations and genders.
Animals fight, true that is. True is also the fact that human beings are possibly the only species that cause so much damage cross spectrum.
We kill each other; for honour, for money, for power, for fame, for the 'greater good of the world', for self satiation.
We kill animals; animals we eat, animals we dont want to eat but want to collect skins and tusks of, or showcase as shawls so fine that they can pass through a ring, we kill insects that bug us and bugs that aren't even harmful or in our way.
We ruin the eco system; we create substances that mother earth cannot ingest, we create toxic waste that in turn kills us and them, we create fuel wastage that burns our lungs and our ozone layers. We chop trees to make signs that say do not chop trees, we create ciggerette packs that say smoking is injurious to health and then sell them at competitive rates.
And we rape. Even animals.
Sustainable development evades us as we create so much that we cannot sustain our resources for any further sustainable development.
We give other nationalities peace prizes while we fatten our defense budget.
The animal kingdom choses a leader who is best for the pack, in a fair fight they chose their leader. We chose a leader who at best is best at filling his own swiss bank account.
They all say I am mad that I want to drop my own life for the life of an animal, I say they are mad, they want to inflate their sense of inferiority by a pretense at superiority.
Big phallic representations that shoot across, acclaimed to be guided to the closest metre, then falling on a family of women and children.
I accept, Allah gives us the ability to be the superior race, I do not accept that merely by being we are.
