I have days when I think people really SUCK (behave worse than animals who kill to surive). Humans intentionally keep others down (killing included) for their own personal advancement (not survival) which is an absolutely nasty thing to me.
...And then there are days when I think people are inherently good because most seem to have a conscience that manages to keep in check their most primal/animal instincts. You see them doing a great deal of good to others - at least some of them. This is something animals are not capable of and you cannot tell me it is not awe-inspiring when you see it at work.

In general, I am not a big fan of what happens in the jungle so when I hear the "it's only natural" argument to justify humans behaving like animals - I lose my patience. At the end of the day, I still dislike the lion when he kills the deer, so the lion sucks. At the same time I understand he needs to eat and that he cannot eat grains.

When it gets really bad for me is when humans get to behave even WORSE than animals. They are endowed by society with a conscience and yet they refuse to use it.

We don't get along because humans have also developed EGOS.

Animals have neither conscience nor ego.
If humans only used their conscience it would be an awesome world.
Unfortunately, most of the time I feel that the ego is much stronger than the conscience.

Every single evil in this world starts with the EGO. Hands down.
