Human beings think that they are advanced and more reasonable than other animals. I always think 6 reasons are enough to prove how stupid and unreasonable we "hairless apes" are:
1. smoking: Despite 50 years of heavy campaign against smoking, and despite extensive research that proves beyond doubt that smoking is a serious health hazard, there are still millions and millions of human beings that smoke. Each time I see somebody opening a pack of cigarettes with those nasty pictures of wasted lungs and teeth on them and the warning that smoking is hazardous to your health, each time I see near death patients on wheelchairs outside the main door of hospitals smoking in the cold windy day, I ask myself: “do you need any other proof that we are just another primitive primate with a primitive brain”?
2. Religion: Despite all the scientific advances we have made, right in the middle of the so-called most advanced society in the world, in US, large groups of people still believe that humans are created by god 6000 years ago, refuse to accept evolution, accept that all sorts of miracles are true, and lots of other false outdated beliefs. They go through boring 2000 year old books believing them word by word and fight tooth and nail to stop scientific advances like stem cell research.
3. War: Are we different from any small tribes of chimpanzees when they fight the other tribe and kill their young and adults just because they are “different”? How can we boast we are different, more advanced, and reasonable when we still fight as ferociously and every day “invent” better ways to kill and annihilate each other?????
4. The British Royal Family: Can you find any group of people as useless as this family? What is the rason de etre of this family? Just because you have dropped out of the vagina of a certain woman you are entitled to all these privileges? You own vast tracts of lands, palaces, wealth and power just because you are one of them? What is the difference between prince Charles and any other man on the street? The only difference is that the passage that guy passed through to come to this world was not located between the legs of a certain person! Why on earth is any of them entitled to all those privileges and wealth? As long as there is such a thing as a royal family in this world that thinks it has the gods approval to be different and is blue blooded, and worse than that, is “loved” and “approved” by its own people, I will always doubt the sanity of human beings.
5. The existence of countries and borders: We are all one species, we are not Americans or Bangladeshis or Japanese. Why borders? Why countries? Why draw a line on the sand and say I, at this side of this line, have the right to be prosperous and powerful and happy, and you just on the other side of the line have to be poor and oppressed and illiterate? Can any sane and reasonable person bring up just one reason why we need to have borders and countries?
6. LOTTERIES AND CASINOS: We all know chances of winning big in a lottery is statistically less than being hit in the street by a meteorite, yet still hordes of people buy lottery tickets every day. And if casinos were going to pay more than they made, there wouldn't be any casino around and yet still millions of people go to casinos everyday to "win". Shall I go any further??These are just 6 reasons why we are not sane, why we are no different than gorillas and chimpanzees, why we are animals like any other animals, and why we don’t have any rights to boast about our special place in this world and this universe. I can go on and list a thousand other reasons, but do you think it is necessary???
