Since the dawn of time, mankind has been caught in a never-ending birth & death cycle, which we have had to fight through. For money, power, respect, love, peace, freedom, religion, land, food, for basic human needs — the reason never mattered or stayed constant, but the struggle was always there. For centuries, we have battled against each other, carefully planning our attacks to ambush our enemies, who had once been neighbors, utilizing any and all means necessary in order to claim victory. For years, we have raised generations upon generations of savage armies, training our own children in the art of guerilla warfare, teaching them first how to use their bare hands to take lives until they grew old enough hold guns, strong enough to pull triggers, and smart enough to plant bombs. In essence, violence and death has become our legacy. We were the ones who planted the seeds, nurtured the soil, and as soon as we reaped the fruits of our labor, we were the ones who sold them to slavery, using them as bargaining chips and margining lines. And yet, we wonder how others can be so cruel, while simultaneously cursing the Earth for Her natural disasters.

our egos have a hard time taking the blame for things, seeing where we might have been wrong. But I like to think that’s not always the case, we might at first have this reaction, but I believe over time, whether it be ourselves or our future generation, we do take responsibility. Great post!
