Issue# 57 : "I am an Animal!"

I saw something that made me fell horrible inside yesterday, 

Yesterday the human race sunk to an all time low, I could not watch  
for shame, I figured that there were definitely some species of homo 
fatuus on this world but I didn't know that they could get this bad. 

If you have read issue number 5 entitled coffee, rats and monkeys 
you will see that I have trouble seeing a correlation or resemblance  
between monkeys and humans. And it that pains me greatly. But 
yesterday I saw a action that was so related to primitive Neanderthal 
behavior, a blatant show of male machismo, that I could not even 
pain myself to watch, and hence only saw a half of it at most before i  
turned my head and just walked away. 

I was walking back to my locker and saw two males having standing off 
between each other. One was accusing him of something and the other was 
scared because the other male was higher up the social ladder than he 
was. From what I could tell the younger male had said something to 
someone else that the elder had not liked and had angered him so he was  
standing there insulting the younger and threatening him, all the while 
females and younger males were watching on to see who would win and  
who would be the dominant male. Would the leader be overthrown? and  
would there be a new leader of the group. Not likely, the younger was 
scared shitless, and the older could see this so he pushed him off 
with a threat. 

I observed all this as I was walking past so there could have been 
a lot more to say on the subject that I don't know. Most of it I 
didn't even watch out of shame for the human race, most of it I just  
heard. 

We think we have come so far, and in cases we have, we have developed 
art, music, mathematics, we have found (relative) consciousness and 
we believe that we are sentient and aware of what is around us. 

But still under our exterior, there is still that primal feeling,  
still that thing which drives us to be nothing but wild animals,  
we may have tamed ourselves, but the striking resemblance to animals  
is still disconcertingly there and it's still strong, reminding us  
that even though we think we have accomplished so much we may just  
be getting too big for our boots. 

Depressing isn't it?
