The Warfare, Evolition, and Enemies of Man.
This is sort of part of the subject for the chapter book series I'm going to make, but it's also just my random thoughts. If you ever have ideas for a name for the chapter book, please say.
Is the human race truly invincible? We have lived on the planet Earth for a relatively short time, but many of us seem to believe we'll keep living forever.
We've conquered the predators that once hunted us, and now they run from us with their tails between their legs. Soon after, we traveled around the world, doing the same thing. We domesticated animals for meat and milk and wol. Soon after, we made large kingdoms of stone, and chased all the unwanted animals away, keeping the ones we thought of as useful, or as companions. As other people created their own civilizations, we saw them as week, and alien. We destroyed their lands, and took them for our own. We spread to new lands, changing our buildings of stone into buildings of metal.
Soon, we had powers no animal had, and we thought of ourselves as God's. We could destroy entire species, clear entire forests, pollute entire seas. We could create bombs to destroy our own cities, or rockets to bring us to the stars. Were we wrong to say we were gods? Had we not become more powerful than any being on the planet?
We still have enemies though, in this modern world we have created. Disease still kills people, every day. But we constantly create vaccines and cures, killing and scaring off the invisible threats. Even if millions died, we would eventually kill the microbes. Perhaps, the one true formidable enemy of man, is man.
For centuries upon centuries, we have fought each other. For food. For shelter. For culture. For territory. Even for the right to live. Even today, we still bicker and fight, like little children arguing over nothing. We are capable of creating explosives that could kill thousands. So, there are those times when the population actually seems to lower for a second, because of humans fighting. World War two was a definite example. A little thing called a draft made sure that every older boy and man went to war, while all the women and children stayed. The human population actually went down for a time, but then it continued to sky rocket after the fighting.
What will the wars of man be like in the future? Will we reach out into the stars, and live on world's outside our own? Will we find formidable enemies out there, someone to hold us back from destroying more? Will we learn to change ourselves, and create new species and lives, playing God and possibly paying the price? What could possibly happen in the future of mankind?
Again, this is sort of part of the subject of my future chapter book, which I still need a name for, except for the fact that there are no people or Earth. That's all for now. BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
