Earlier, I was on Tumblr scrolling about and I found a post I disagreed with- strongly. I won't insert it here, but in short, the post stated that as a species, we have failed. We're horrible for each other and the planet we inhabit, and we've destroyed our own natural selection because we keep the sick and demented alive and keep people who are disabled alive. I'm pretty sure that you know where I'm headed, but in case you don't... I wrote a rant in response. I didn't actually send it to the blog that posted the original rant; nor will I include that blog in this post. However, here is my own opinion.
As a species, we have come quite far. We’re one of many different mammals that share in the Earth- and of all of them, we’ve evolved to the point that we have science that allows us to take better care of ourselves, heal diseases, make progress towards a better and healthier world. Yet some of us are so ignorant as to say that we’ve taken away natural selection; taken away evolution through our own discoveries. Isn’t that what evolution is? Ways of moving forward, learning through each generation. I’ve got news for you- we’ve evolved a LOT, and as we have evolved, so has “natural selection”. You say we kill our planet with what we create and that we keep the ill and demented alive… But isn’t that natural selection in and of itself? These genetic diseases and flaws come about in every generation; changing every time…. and every time, we find new ways to handle them. I think that’s pretty amazing. There’s a reason why we’re at the top of the food chain; why we have no predators aside from natural disaster and ourselves. We, as a species, are innovative and determined. Determined to live… even if it means dying in the end. Life ends for all of us eventually, but what’s the sense in wasting it? Leave a legacy for those who come after you. Live your life so well that death will tremble to take you. If stereotypes, democracy, politics, religion, and everything else bother you, then ignore them. I know, it probably sounds impossible- but giving such an enormous shit about everyone else’s opinion and trying to class the entire race which you’re a part of as horrible for having a different life approach than you is a bit far-fetched. And it CERTAINLY takes more energy than just living your life happily and letting go of things that bother you. As for me? I live my life as happily as possible. I don’t let the bigger picture get into my head, and I find joy in the simplest things. I wrote this post to state my own opinion- take it or leave it. My time wasn’t wasted either way. -- maddie
