should humanity survive?

Or should it be stated, should the human species survive?

The way we treat each other I am beginning to wonder if there is such a thing as 'humanity.'

Throughout our history we have been antagonistic and belligerent toward each other. We still slaughter each other in wholesale lots. We seem to be a species of "I'm going to get mine no matter what it costs anybody else."

We have drug lords getting filthy rich selling death. We have arms merchants who will sell anything to anybody at the right price, no matter the death and destruction it causes. We have child laborers working 12 hour days for pennies. We are raping our planet of its resources and polluting our air and water.

We live in a world where apparently people can't be civil towards each other. The human species is all one race whatever the skin color or facial features. But we go around killing each other for what? Because of religious or political or economic differences?

The human species dominates the planet. And look what we have done to the planet. Perhaps we will succeed in killing ourselves off. Mother Nature sure won't miss us.
