This just occured to me while writing the previous blog post, and I don't think it ever has before. Not ever.....
We don't generally refer to the dogs on the land as the dog race, or cats as the cats race, or mice as the mice race. In fact, we tend to refer to things in the animal world as families. The dog family, the cat family, the rodent family....Humans.....the human race.
Now am i just thinking too hard, or is there something in that?
THE HUMAN RACE
HUMAN RACE
RACE
We are in a race. Survival is a game. Survival however, is a game for everything. Not just humans. Plants and animals too strive to survive.
I am intrigued as to what this means.....it's one of those things that gets thrown around for centuries.....one of those things that everyone uses, that hides something more sinister so well...and yet when you think of it, it's so blatantly obvious. And then they also use the term "human kind" Humans are not kind. Not in any way, shape or form. This is clearly ironic in it's meaning. "Human nature" again something more sinister. Human nature is just an excuse for humans to behave in an awful manner.
We kill other humans for fun. We torture other humans for fun. We hurt people for fun. We do a lot of things for fun that animals and plants do purely to survive. We don't need to kill humans to survive. we don't need to torture and hurt to survive. We are a hideous species. Good heavens we even hurt our own family members!
The race it seems is a tough as it is long. And what's worse, is that it seems to me that it's not only against eachother, to be the last survivor, or to be the best and to win the race and control everyone....the race is also against nature. And we can't win against nature. We are not her. She knows exactly what she is doing....and we are dumb, and don't have a clue.
I've looked online, and see nothing about the significance of the term "human race" anywhere. Not that I really need to, when it's so crazily obvious. I hope I am not alone on this. This thing....this race....this race, game that we collectivly play and are part of and don't even realise, this is what will kill us all in the end.
And I don't just mean killing us in a physical sense...I mean this on every level!

My word, is this ya positive outlook on life ash?? Seems strange really, to be saying the world is wonderfull and yet humans are not, when humans basically seem to own the globe!
I've said it before and im sure i'll say it again, but there is something in the human psyche that defines bad things as seeming more real than good things. When things go as they should, we hardly notice, but when things go wrong, even just once, it will be remembered much more than the times before it which worked normally.
Take drugs and the media. If someone dies from a ecstasy pill, it will be on the front page the next day. There will not be any mention of good ecstasy drugs stories (i've had a few!!) ever. Well thats actually because the government would fine any paper that decided to print a pro-drugs story, it's called "limited free speech in the interests of the public".
Yes of course there are bad elements in any group and always will be. Muslim extremism is giving the islamic faith a bad name, but you and i both know Muslims who are law abiding and peaceful citizens. There are also the good elements which you don't notice, take the media, their obsession with bad stories and tragedy in conforming us to the idea that only bad things are worth knowing or talking about. It's bollocks, everything is good and evil, it all depends which part your brain chooses to act on. The sad fact is, those that reject the negative ways of thinking often find themselves being taken advantage of by the negative oriented people. What is one to do!
P.S You will not find anything significant about "the human race" as it was coined by scientists, clever people, but not blessed with imagination or a sense of the artistically uncanny.
