"Life is paradoxically coincidental to the ironical tyrrany applicable to the unparalleled definition of reverse entropy. So you see we are working backwards in a slow attempt in destroying ourselves, therefore building ourselves slowly. We contradict our own existence! You know, somehow I knew that something just isn't right down here!"
We humans are, to put it bluntly, ignorant, rolling in our own glory, revelling in what we call "intelligence." We humans are far from being the "most advanced form of life on this planet." All the rest of nature adapts to the environment it is in, and if it can't adapt, it perishes. We humans do not. We adapt the environment to us, a disturbing fact that will eventually cause our downfall. Sure, if we expand to other solar systems, we might prolong our lifespan for another 10,000 years or so, but in the end it all amounts to nothing. We must transcend ourselves. Our next step of evolution will be of the mind. We will realize that we have been destroying ourselves as we advance, all in the name of "progress." And when we do, we will finally stop attempting to conquer our environment, and begin adapting to it, seeking harmony with it. As was said above, we humans contradict our existence.
Fortunately, we are on the road to better times, we have begun looking toward the stars as our future and we may yet live long enough to correct those feelings of hate and prejudice which so plague our society.
