The strive for the perfect life for all is a quest by humans that seems to have come about recently. About the last two thousand years. I question it's validity in that it is a proper quest for the species. It seems to wrap itself around carry the weak of character as well as mind and body forward slowing the race of where we are headed, could be oblivion but most species are headed there . The definition of what is human and inhuman has for some reason been reversed and our true nature hidden by writers of fiction ..
when we left the trees it was not through negotiation with other species as to what we could have it was through cunning , sheer brute and at time overwhelming force. The offering up of those humans that were weak to the other carnivores was a natural thing as all species did so. We encourage the line to made of strength not of weakness and sickness. Our quest for perfect lives has meant the destruction of other species , the remaking of our habitat. We have used violence to gain what we wanted and violence is more of our nature then the quiet poems of peace and tranquility. Birth is violent , making love is in itself violent if anything death is the most peaceful thing that we experience not the act of dying but the state of it.
As for definitions through our our history we have torture, maimed raped and stolen went home with our prizes and laughed at the is fortune of our victims. We have bulled those that were weaker into giving us their food their money their daughters and their sons to continue our wars. Yet we use the definition human when we reach down to a child and offer it bread or spare it from some in human horror. We sit back and watch some group of people destroying another and recoil saying Where is the humanity why does not anyone stop this.
So for the Science fiction writers or poets wish to describe a perfect world or kind actions do not use the word human . Those that wish to describe some fantasy world of being good to one another without the threat of force or violence please say how inhuman you are or describe a sloths world to your readers.. That you wish to change man so quickly, the blood has not yet dried in our teeth and you wish to claim us vegetarian. You do not have to accept who we are or how we got here ,just use the terminology correctly for at least a few thousand years that will make me happy and you might want to make me happy since I do not mind using violence or force to get what I want and torture just brings a sweet smile to my face. Yes in the future i might be branded as a Neanderthal but with out those like human thoughts and more the will to break the barriers and fight and kill where would the human race be. Ask the mammoth the next time you see one?
