MALEVOLENT HUMAN CALLOUSNESS -- Crueldade e Insensibilidade Humana


absence of land ownership, there have been sporadic anthropological findings evidencing massive brutality exerted by men upon its own kind. Hence, there is no doubt that the masters of this planet have always been capable of immeasurable cruelty, whereas developing ever more colorful, picturesque euphemisms, during the past few centuries, designed to justify conflicting hidden agendas, while concealing their wicked nature.
A thorough and reflexive analysis of eight millennia of history would suffice to persuade any honest observer that poetry, comedy and philosophy are beautifully conceived tools intended to

Utilizing poignant terminology such as “humanism” and “civilization,” mankind has been victorious in a clever campaign to define itself as an intrinsically benign creature. Yet, there is a limit to how much intelligent individuals can be self-deluded

by well-orchestrated social masquerades; thereby cleverly masking from itself the overwhelming burden imposed by implacable mores dictated by the very society it has crafted, in conformity with shallow, unrealistic religious criteria...
Undeniably there are remarkable exceptions - outstanding entities capable of overcoming the innate limitations ordained by human condition, by shedding the rancid foundation of our hearts. These remarkable exceptions epitomize the “virtuous” icons eulogized throughout centuries of civilization, serving as valiant efforts to inspire the masses to rise above the confines of their sordid

Nonetheless, the crux of the matter rests upon the hard fact

that Human ruthlessness is just an inescapable quintessential part of its essence, and only eons of continuous evolution may perhaps permit our species to become something akin to the quaint images of all-loving and almighty gods, in very distant future. Yet, I daresay that because of men’s innate drive to incalculable atrocities, incapable of quenching their unstoppable thirst for blood, never heeding the brutality committed by their forefathers, there is scarcely any effort to heed history’s lessons and attempt to rectify unforgivable errors. To be sure, mankind has always been irreparably oblivious to past blunders, blindly obsessed with power and mercilessly deceptive, thereby assuring its own inevitable downfall. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that it may ever be capable of swerving from the current trail, and shall continue trotting along this atrocious pathway until the glorious moment when, as a gift to the Universe, it succeeds in

If only the Neanderthal men had emerged victorious and inherited the Earth to develop its own civilization, perhaps the planet would have had a gentler, kinder history over the past twenty two millennia, thereby affording this blue spec to keep on hovering, with abundant life across the infinity of time-space continuum.
