this will always be this?

As a hu­man I feel re­spon­si­ble to speak up about the atroc­i­ties we face as a species. 

We evolved in such a sense with emo­tions and thoughts con­scious­ly able to per­ceive our world but have for­got­ten the core of it we are still animals. 

We com­mit heinous acts some­times. We hurt others. 

In large­ly, in the name of self.

I know even I am pos­si­ble and ca­pa­ble at all times to do such things but pre­tend­ing like I can’t or that part of me doesn’t ex­ist only dis­guis­es the ugly. 

Of­ten times as the more you dis­guise it the more it grows. 

Peo­ple are afraid. We have al­ways been afraid. Specif­i­cal­ly of our­selves. To state that we may fail or that we are not 100% what we be­lieve we should be. 

We are ter­ri­fied. We pre­serve our egos so well be­cause as a liv­ing or­gan­ism the only way to strive is by wit­ness­ing our achieve­ments make some­thing of us. 

We are crea­tures who hope to cre­ate while we end­less­ly de­stroy – which is ironic. 

If only we could see it as the cy­cle of life. If only we could see that ac­cept­ing our faults and fail­ures could lead us further. 

But we have built a so­ci­ety where there is no turn­ing point. This will al­ways be this? 

But have we not learned from evo­lu­tion? Have we not seen the pow­er of one thought and what it can create? 

There’s a big­ger un­der­stand­ing to be had. And we can’t have it if we keep our mouths shut,
our eyes closed,
and our ears deaf.
We can’t have un­der­stand­ing if we, as hu­mans, don’t feel re­spon­si­ble to touch the things we have de­cid­ed must be left untouchable.
