We call ourselves the human race. You would think that we would be more compassionate for our own race (the human race) then what we are. Wild animals have more compassion for each other then we do. It is shameful to think that we judge each other so quickly and care for each other so little. We argue and fight over the color of people, the wealth of people and the love of people. I feel before we judge people and disrespect people we should look into our own closets to see how clean we keep them. I have found alot of people to be more like wild animals then like the humans they claim to be.......Why cant people treat others the way they would like to be treated? It is alot like the call of the wild!

Wild animals kill there own kind and put fear into their own kind as much as the human? I DOUBT THAT!

Talk about proof? Proof comes from reading half of the stuff that hits this sight. I watch enough of the animal planet and have seen enough of the wild life first hand to know they are not as cruel as humans can be. And as far as singing kumbuya or any other tear jerker, gotta know me better then that. Im just a woman that thinks the human race wastes too much time disrespecting others and judging too quickly.......PROOF! You judged me damn snappy ,did you not? I am a heart felt person that feels we people are like the wild ones but I aint a holden hand singing kind of person either..........

The human animal evolved to consume more, desire more, and requires larger areas for our size then the planet naturally would sustain.

The planet can't feed almost 7 billion people, just can't do it. So that requires farming, which requires land, which makes it valuable......

You see where this is going. Value is the root of all evil.

Truly, they only time that peace will break out on earth is when we have conqured the atom, and able to manipulate matter into anything we want. From carbon atoms to steak, from lead, to gold. Now that isn't impossible, and it can happen some day, but until then, we will have value on the things that we have to live on, which means that some will have more, some will not, it will continue bickering by those that don't have it, and those who think its being taken away.

Are there things we can do to make things more compasionate? Yes, like civil rights, and other things that made things better for all people. But we will never be perfect, until all desires can be fulfilled. Even then, some things will be out of reach, and there will always be some bickering.
