on my mind today

i've been trying to figure out what it is that makes the human such a heartless animal that he thinks the best way to be comfortable with himself is to hurt other humans. i have had the chance to observe other animals fight each other to a blody mess but even as a human being i could understand it was from such rivalry of sorts. i saw two cocks (roosters) get in a bad fight. but i looked around and saw it was over one hen just standing bye. the couls not talk it over, or one would not give in to the other. or better still one has formed the habit of not chatting up a lady (hen) until he saw the particular rooster out trying out his luck.

but with humans we pride ourselves as the animal with probably the highest i.q. why then can't we just see that if we sat down to talk we actually could get rid of what ever the greivances are or at least resolve them. well, if this turns out to be a little too difficult considering that we have wars on already, and the wars will still create room for splinter wars, then let us look to science to shelf the creation of destructive weaponry and concentrate on the regrowth of human tissues for replacement of lost limbs, improvement of the general standard of living of humans, easy access to medicare, all such things as may make life so much more worthwhile that the life of the individual becomes more and more precious. i think the temptation to just go all out and destroy life will be cortailed and with time wiped out.
