I’m so impressed by homo sapiens! We have, despite our cynicism and refusal to fully acknowledge it, managed to do quite a lot with the consciousness that somehow arose within our species perhaps 2-odd million years ago. It never ceases to amaze me how civilised we are, how much we have created, how much we control and affect our surroundings, and how much concern we show for it, if not as individuals, collectively. And all of this progress is in spite of our own self-confessed self-deprecating self-image and constant striving the better ourselves and our behaviour.
Hey, human. You have a long way to go, for sure. But don’t underestimate how far you’ve come, baby! And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
P.S.: The image has nothing to do with the post. It was in response to a friend who challenged me to put one up in a suit, and I was coincidentally wearing one today. But since we are speaking of humans, I think I represent my species as much as the next one, what say?
