| | | | | Justify humanity's existence. |

| | | | Agrees with Descartes and Master Lancelot.
More to the question, our existence is justified by the fact that God wanted us to exist, and so we do. We haven't yet ended our existence.
Our existence is justified by God's desire to create us and our efferts to continue to exist.
Justified. |

| | | | I kinda like George Carlin's explaination..
Mother Earth wanted plastic....
justified~~ |
| |
| | | | To have orgies
and then, after that....
To have more orgies.
And then, to film those orgies
turning them into private X-rated porn video's
*nods*
Yup, this is clearly the meaning... 
~~~~~~
A day without blood is like a day without sunshine... 
~~~~~~
Religion is regarded by the Common People as True,
by the Wise as False, and by the Rulers as Useful. |

| | | | 1: the quality or state of being humane.... ((whats to justify here? Better to be humane than cruel, most people do not like cruelty. Justify being cruel...hmmm?))
2 a: the quality or state of being human b: plural : human attributes or qualities .. ((being a human, I have human attributes and qualities. I act more as a human than I act a sea cucumber.))
3plural : the branches of learning (as philosophy, arts, or languages) that investigate human constructs and concerns as opposed to natural processes (as in physics or chemistry) and social relations (as in anthropology or economics) ((ahhhh, the arts, languages and philosophies...as varied and convoluted as a fingerprint. Humanity in this case is justified within each individual as they live and learn.))
4: the human race : the totality of human beings ((goes to the "I think, therefore I am." Run Saber shows he is human as he thinks of orgies, and how to work orgies into a philosophical topic. {nicely done Run, I am sure that the philosophical discussions of the past were interspersed with humor also.Sometimes philosophical questions can make one short circuit if taken to seriously.} Humanity can be justified in laughter and tears, anger and happiness, sorrow and joy. )) |

| | | | Yes, and?
Thoughts, emotions, happiness, tears, even orgies (to a degree) are all, simply...human. It takes another human being to validate the existence of another, and more than that, you have to be able to understand one another to effectively communicate without braining yourselves with a rock. To speak of love in English to a person who understands solely Chinese accomplishes relatively the same as giving a recitation on the origins of immorality to a tree, except the fellow who understands Chinese (or alternately English) might eventually become bored and annoyed by the recitation and decide that silence is infinitely more golden.
To be humane is a wonderful thing, but what is being humane except preserving a parasitic life form which lacks utterly the capability to create and excels wonderfully in the capacity to manipulate, and more often for the worse than the better?
The sciences are magnificent things as well, but again they are a human construct, and wrought horribly with error and fallacies. Apparently there's a mathematical joke in which three becomes equal to four with legitimate claim.
Being a human is to be like any other beast, and you probably share more commonalities with a sea cucumber than you'd like to admit. Our ultimate goal is to ensure our survival, as is with any other creature of reasonable capacity which isn't hellbent on self-destruction. On that point I suppose we outmatch our marine friend, but is that really any great feat when we have technology? Honestly, shouldn't the cucumber be given more praise than us, using only itself and its crude environs to live on and propagate fairly well? It doesn't even have to publicly boast of a mind to copulate, it simply does.
Plastic?
God desiring us to be may have been so in the past, but what would he think of us now? We're not that readily a pretty race, nor even a divinely intelligent one. We have no common language, and those popular are only for securing economic dominance or have been imposed by years of military conquest, and therefore either attempts at negotiation born out of fear of assimilation or, again, for economic purposes.
Humans make much out of themselves, but what really is there much to be made out of?
On our planet alone we bear significance, and only to a limited degree at that.
God damn us the moment we venture off our small little planet with the hopes of conquest and exploration if we remain in the current state such as we are in now, for surely some cruel vengeance shall be visited on us for having the audacity to expand our childish games to include more than our own backyard.
So again, I ask, please justify humanity's existence, for of any other creature of similar traits and qualities, an immediate call to arms would most assuredly be made. |

| | | | And Good God, you've all missed that one indelible human quality which separates from the rest of the goddamn beasts out there, and that is our capability of learning and change. To not remain as we always are, to become something better than ourselves, to restore our environment after we destroy it, and with careful cultivation, sometimes make it better than it was.
And to make our beliefs of justice and virtue, our heady ideals of fairness and equality be measured out in heavy doses to our universe.
|
| |
| | | | | But dammit all again, what is our capacity of changing and learning in comparison to our capacity of desolation and destruction? Our simple being in any environment we live in ravages it (inhaling oxygen, releasing carbon dioxide, eating of plants, ejection of urine, etc.). Do we lack so infinitely the capability to simply be at peace with everything in nature? Need we forgo some miracles of the industrial age to do this, and would this actually work for all of humanity? |
| |
| | | | Given time, perhaps, humanity could change...but how much time is the question. Patience is a wonderful quality to have, but only when it affects solely those involved. Humanity affects all those around it, and how long must the creatures whose whose habitats we destroy and lives obliterate wait before we come to grips with ourselves and crush our own ego?
Perhaps they were right...Man was given dominion over the land and the sea, but God have woe for what Man sees and he wishes to take further more.
Is it right that in order to exist one creature must inevitably harm some other device of nature in order to propagate, or else help something to harm something else? What sick and lengthy parable of behavior is this desolation of life known as being? |

| | | | I did mention the ability to learn, and thought it was clear that how each individual uses that learning may influence the current of humanity change. Despite all our technology we are of nature, and have the same set of laws applied to us as all creatures. We may alter some things to cheat the course mapped out, but nature wins in the end. Each human is like a drop of water in a cavern adding to a stalagmite over centuries. Where each drop flows influences the shape of the formation If you polled each individual in the world, most would not like the course we are on, but to change the flow of how it IS overnight, will not happen . We will either change for the better or become extinct through our own design. Or nature may even hiccup and we will be no more. Humanity is the effort of the individual to live with compassion, understanding and love. Also unlike my brother sea cucumber, putting forth the effort to try to be right, as we were 'cursed' with free thought and will. To look at a very pessimistic OPINION on humanity and it's course,turn around, smile, and explain to a 4 year old what that a praying mantis is a 'good' insect and not a spider, is part of humanity. We are here until we are not, how we choose to live it is the only thing we will really have while here, so make the best of it and try not to get lost in doom and gloom.
We smell roses just to enjoy the smell.
We watch waves to enjoy the sight and sound.
We do things to have children laugh, just to fill ourselves with joy.
I can only justify the individual, I can not justify humanity.
I wield not the power, nor do I want it. |
