Somewhere within the recess of our minds lurks the raw desire to survive somehow

no matter the consequences, and idealistic phrases like empathy, kindness and peace might never surpass that feeling.

Humans over the centuries have slowly forgotten that they are eventually just intellectually evolved animals and every primal desire or ours is equally animalistic, with unbound intensities. No matter how tame we have become the desire to survive is still the strongest instinct within humanity.

Survival feels like a positive instinct yet sheer anger, fear and terror can arouse within the tamest of beings an evil feeling that has the ability to overpower every thread of sanity.

Humanity has evolved itself into structures and hierarchy, they exist with the sheer need to meticulously define each feeling and emotion, to them a black and white complexity resides within them

They have forgotten the color of grey and the ambiguity of morals.

I hope Humanity one day sees itself as what it is, a dark curse that throbs beneath our veins to exist somehow, anyhow. Non existence is what humans are scared of the most and the survivalist approach of humanity is fueled by this one fear only.

What humanity can even be defined as?

Is it any better than other species just because it has learned to define evil and good?

Is humanity itself black or white, or just a complex monument of grays that can never reach the clarity of blacks and whites.
