cerebration

Humans, as I have come to understand, are the only species who, heretofore, have been persistent upon destroying themselves with the sword of evolution itself. Logic and reasoning have been rendered vestigial time and again to make way for more brutish pursuits. As the present scenario would have it, the most prominent goal seems to be propagation; wild, directionless, regardless of the cost involved.

That being said, there are a handful who still cherish the most beautiful gift of billions of years of evolution- free thought; but as the obnoxiously predictable society full of half wits would have it, they are forced to live like outcasts, or a non-entity, a part of the crowd. It seems we have gashed our own hands while forging this sword, and the wounds have spread to take more ghastly forms as in organised religion, conventions in everything from education to profession to behaviour, even in thought. Mediocrity being rewarded as it is today, presents a more vivid and picturesque view of where we are heading to.
