I would say that humans are an amazing species which have realised amazing achievements, as individuals and in groups.
I would say it is impossible to judge an entire species as a whole and that each individual should be judged upon their own merits and demerits.
If you take this into consideration, sure, there have been loads of people who have achieved absolutely amazing achievements as well as some who have committed horrific crimes against humanity, the world and the universe (God if there is one).
I think that much of the horrific crimes against humanity are caused by people in the position where they determine the cause that humanity takes, whether these people are involved in politics or the next global trend in consumerism.
Among the Global population, there are some who now have become aware of the many failings that the human race has on the whole, and who are doing what they can to attempt to steer the human race on a more productive and humanity friendly course.
Humans are not good nor bad. Humans are a collective made of many billion with each human within the collective choosing their own path.
We, as conscious nodes of humanity must do what we can to choose our best course of actions as humans, so that humanity finds the most humane path.
Agree 100%...If i may add???...God created us, intelligent beings, in his image...In other words, with the capacity to reflect his qualities, especially LOVE...However, he also gave us free will...Therefore, each individual chooses which path to follow: one of ALTRUISM or one of SELF-DESTRUCTION...I am at awww when i think of all the good humans can contribute to the world at large when we join our efforts towards a good cause...Greetings from California...
