I really don't understand your post, or why it's written like it is.
Animals can be sadistic, but they don't have the capacity of evil- or the ability to choose it- of humans. Dolphins rape each other, but would they have the ability to commit the holocaust? i don't think so.
Also, the thing that annoys me about people is that we have the capacity and intelligence to choose to plan things out and do better but we don't. Yes, life is hard but humanity could have fought other humans less, not committed genocide, and not put our entire trust in big oil and the likes BUT we didn't and now we're locked into destruction.
Finally, I think you're inferring a lot of things from what I said, some of which are not true. And yes, I did have history lessons at school, and I learned about the horrors that the conquistadors committed. I also learned about the nakba(which doesn't happen often in schools in my country).
Surely, humans are not perfect, but we have that tendency to choose the worse option many times.
My kind of writing is always like this. I guess I am just an asshole. An asshole who likes cause of boringness to mirror the stupidity of people.
I did not mean the crimes of the conquistadors as everyone knows this. I meaned the crimes what the native americans did. The aztecs did: "Hearts cut out or were decapitated, shot full of arrows, clawed, sliced, stoned, crushed, skinned, buried alive or tossed from the tops of temples." The Mayas were similar and also the Indians did crimes on beaten enemy tribes. That they did it's proven at least most of it as you can find corpses, just the number it still discussed. This is also the reason why the europes have beaten the aztecs so easily, because they confederate with the local people an rebelion (It was not just tecnological advance). Many of this crimes of the spanish conquistadors are exaggerated like the witch hunt in europe is by far exaggerated. As most of the native people died on the illness what the europes carry in. You could blame them for this but they did not know much about illness in this time.
This thing with the humans could do something else, I tried to deny. What we choose is at the end just the product of our brain working. Our brains are here to secure of survival and of our next children and next of our surroundings. Not anything else. Of course you can argue that the well being of the world is also our well being so our brain should care. This entirely true, but we are not in the evolutionary state to think that far. When our lower brain parts choose to be egoistic than it does not matter what our higher brain counscious parts know or not. We are all chained by causality their is no other way out.
As light and dark are not seperable from each other is also not peace and war, pleasure and pain, humility and gruelty. When some one chooses to help some, be kind, and respectful their is another one who had to choose to be evil. This is not only my thinking, look at buddha, Nietsche, Schopenhauer they will all tell you life and pain are not sepperable from each other.
