What the heck is wrong with us!?

We kill each other and even ourselves for a god that we don't even
know exists.

We kill each other over money or silly disputes, or even for the
enjoyment of it.

We murder, rape, molest and kill our own children.

Yes, there are many positives, but the above negatives, and those
unmentioned, far outweigh any positives.

We're a mess.

We have so much potential for great things, yet, it's like we prefer
to act juvenile and immature.

Maybe that's because we ARE a juvenile and immature species?

But after 10,000 or more years, you'd think we'd get the picture by
now?

I beleive we are far worse than animals. Even parasites.

It's like we're a disease. I know we have potential to do great things
for ourselves, each other, and the planet but it's like the human race
would rather act like a spoiled child who's parents are out of the
house for the night.
