Our humanity is doomed.

Why? You may ask.

Well, it is simply in the new nature of a person.

We're greedy, cruel and power hungry.

We don't care about lives smaller than our own. We kill animals and bugs without complaint, not caring about how many children or family members they have.

How are we to move forward with life if we are unable to care for those lesser than ourselves? How are we to move forward if the only thing we care for is money, power and sex?

So allow me to leave you with this:

When did everyone stop caring about the others who needed the help the most?

I'm with taylor on the validating your claims. I agree with you, but I'm more of a pacifistic personality to begin with. It's a very simple answer tho: those with power tend to use it on those who don't have any. In this way they can not only stay in power, but use those under themselves as a cushion. And, I'm not sure about you, but If I see a cockroach near me, I'm going to destroy it and pray it doesn't have children XD

Interesting concept, in this whole piece. I've written many pieces with a similar idea and it's all just so striking, is it not? I challenge you in this way: Evaluate more on this topic. You have hardly touched the surface of the water, but I challenge you to make ripples. Write something controversial. Insult humanity. Because that's what great authors do. (:
