The primary imperative of all living things, including humans, is to survive and perpetuate their species. Species are able to continue through natural selection and survival of the fittest -- those that adapt to changing conditions have a better chance of surviving. Adaptation involves changing either physical characteristics or behavior. I believe that we should all strive to behave in a way that betters ourselves as individuals, and the world as a whole, if we want to increase our chances of surviving as a species.
Humans are just animals, but we have advanced brains that can override our primitive reactions. We have not used our intelligence to its full potential. It is time to reassess how best to continue our species. Will we make our decisions based on emotions or on reason? Humans are conscious beings; we do have feelings and natural instincts, but we can discipline ourselves to consider our future in every decision we make.
We can choose to behave like beasts or like humans.
