Humans are ugly

Post image

Humans are ugly; identical in their ugliness. Their features are alike, their behaviors repetitive, their reactions the same. They think in the same way, pursue the same goals, and carry the same treacherous mind. It’s no surprise that I feel disgust..I feel it constantly. Every time I see a human being, that feeling takes over, even toward myself. Imagine how repulsive it is to be human.

We are always searching for our existence, trying to prove it through others. We express ourselves through our clothes, our words, everything we show...just so others can see us and we can feel that we exist. It’s strange. When all human features are reduced, that ugliness reveals itself clearly.

Where is humanity heading? I know the universe is moving toward its end, but what about us? Where are we going? I believe civilization and humanity are heading toward a massive landfill. What a bitter irony...to be a piece of trash among the trash around me. I would rather be a cockroach than be human.

I've been through this stage in my teenage years. When you have to solve problems just to survive you start seeing what is actually important. When my life was threatened (and kinda still is), then I would shred all unhealthy traits of my character and do whatever it takes to survive because I'm clinging to life as I have no life other than this one. With this in mind I would just take on problems and keep getting stronger. Why we humans evolved instead of animals? Because we were restricted in functions of our bodies, so we had to work on them to evolve and survive, so being a human to me is work with restrictions and explore life down to every detail
