Who do you think you are? Do you know? Do we ever stop and think about who you are. I mean physically. You are an animal just like your dog. You are no more than the organisms living in your bathroom sink. You are a creature of this planet just like the rest, right? We are human beings. We like food and sex. We make friends and create unions. We fight and cheat. We strive to be good and to become better then we are. We want to learn. We want to evolve. We want to think we are more than the creatures we share this planet with but the truth is that we just the same.

I like women. Most guys do, but I cant say why I do. It was bred into me way before I was born. I have a sense of competitiveness. I’m not saying I like to fight; I’ve never been in a real fight. But I think most guys like to compete for superiority over other males. It’s something we do cause we want to, but in reality we need to. It’s part of what makes us who we are and who we are is human. I am breed to survive. Survival of the fittest, right? I am breed to think. I am bred to procreate. So what else am I bred to do? There are parts of my nature that I need to remember are just the human parts. So why deny that?

Now society in general has grown to the way it is for a reason. Orgies, serial murders, and street fights are all frowned upon. This is a good thing, but all those things still happen. As horrible as they all sound they are still something that are inside each of us.  They are something that we decide to suppress. Again, this is a good thing. We don’t want any Dexter wannabes reeking havoc or some Eyes Wide shut parties all over our neat, well manured neighborhoods, now do we?  No we don’t.

I guess my point is that maybe we are different from all those crazy animals on this planet because we want to suppress those things. The more I think about it the more I think that our God, or our Creator wouldn’t want us to suppress who we are. I mean, he made us the way we are. Yet, we want to be more than who we are. So maybe its the fact that humans are always trying to better themselves that really makes us human. Yet you can also claim that animals in general do the same thing on a smaller/slower scale. Shit, if dogs can open doors and birds can talk, it seems to me that they are making progress.

So maybe we are all the same then. Humans are just a few million years ahead of our animal neighbors. The more we adapt, the more we evolve, the more we strive to be better, the more human we are. Or maybe that just makes us more like the animals we are.  And we shouldn’t deny that.
