Nature of Mankind(Tyranny)


Mans making through time and space… Through the dawn of time man has always seemed dominant. No matter the cause, we always have to dominate one another. Some people would even lay down their hands, their souls, their very lives to be the Right hand man of a king. A pharaoh. A god. But why? What is it all for? Why commit genocide? Why kill hundreds of people to prove yourself dominant? To have ultimate power? To prove oneself to be macho? To show others that you are not weak? Why enslave the poor, the defeated, and the hopeless? Why do we do these things and call them governments? The reason-we’re human. The justification-we’re alive The point in all this pointless bloodshed, pain, agony and loss-we have no idea. We just like to destroy and kill things. Like I said, it’s nothing personal. Just human nature.
