Crazy ol' world

I don’t actually know what to post…
The world is just nuts. Or maybe that’s just this country. After all… in the last few weeks we have had; a riot caused by the death of a film star. A riot that killed 5 and injured 200! We have also had bomb blast in one of the primary religious compounds in our capital. See? Nuts.
I don’t know why Mother Nature even bothers with things like floods, hurricanes, earthquakes and diseases to try and keep our population under control. After all, we seem to have gotten really good at killing each other off. But maybe not quite at the rate she would like…
Although, I don’t usually consider myself a radical activist type, recently I’ve begun to wonder if Ra’s Al Ghul doesn’t have the right idea. Wipe out the human population, or the majority of it anyways, and start from scratch. But, the major problem there is, who gets to choose who lives and who dies?
A simple farmer is not educated enough, but the more educated have all the traits we don’t like in society today. A true conundrum. And no matter who gets to choose, or who is chosen. The results will not be fair.
‘FAIR’. Another unique invention of the human mind. No other creature thinks of ‘fair’. It is, or it isn’t. I have or I have not. You have, I want, I take, I have!
That is possibly the most complex thought process that any non-human creature has.
At least, I don’t think animals feel emotions like envy, or jealousy, or even competitiveness. They compete to survive! Not in a vain attempt to impress other people, to create an image, a mask to show the world and to hide behind.
No. All those feelings, thoughts, emotions… all, are exclusively and fascinatingly human.
