noun
5. a human being.

Humans. We fill this planet with what is considered an intelligent and advanced species. Able to build shelter, eat as an omnivore, think with feelings and logic, not only instinct.

Whether you believe in a higher power putting us here, or us evolving from common ancestors, we are here.

Here to live our life, make new life, and repeat.

Yet what I find disgusting and completely contradicting is the bolded definition of human.

Humans, born with a switch to let us know what's wrong and what's right. To tell us when to fight and when to flee. To tell us what we are, who we are, and why we are.

Yet humans have the unconceivable idea that they themselves are the only one that matters. Selfishness and greed. I am sick and tired of giving people my all, giving life my all, and then being slapped with not even a smile, not even a thanks, not one single thing back. Not even acknowledgement. I'm not asking for a million dollars, for a praise, but for a care, a want. A want from a person, from life itself.

Yet all people do is take and take and take. Take everything and walk away with a grin on their face. All life does is look at you and scoff.

Where did it all go wrong? Where did HUMANITY, the TRUE meaning of the word leave the building?

I am tired of giving them that satisfaction of having their hands full
I am tired of seeing people be happy because of material possession
I am tired of sitting on the curb wondering why the hell I am ignored
I am tired of not understanding human emotions and mixing them up
I am tired of people being so happy they survived a car crash, not even thinking about the person they slammed their car into
I am tired of society
I am tired of people
I am tired of me
I am tired of life
I am tired

i often feel this way and prefer the company of animals. their behavior is much easier to sort out (it's fairly consistent and patterned) and although they're capable of aggression, they're rarely capable of cruelty just for the sake of it.

i often like to believe that i'm not human, but an animal, or perhaps an android . cats capture my imagination because they're so curious and intelligent. androids are frequently the same.

Quite often I refer to myself as being from Pluto.
I don't really understand this Human concept very often...

I don't think I fit in with number 3 either.

I think humans should be classified as human only in the same way that say a dog is classified as a dog, physical characteristics or genetics. Just because we can think and reason doesn't mean we aren't, at the core, animals. We have the same needs, but also the ability to see the future needs we cannot physically feel yet which only makes us more dangerous.

We also have imaginations, very, very dangerous things they are :/
