The Next StepNow buzznet, this is something I've been trying to articulate for quite some time. This is just one of my many theories, but I don't expect anyone to read it muchless agree or have something nice to say. With that being said feel free to read it, state your opinions. I'd like to hear what your theories are. I'm not here to bash anyone, and neither should you guys. So here it goes.
They say we evolve for the best. Evolution is progression. Progression is good. Both words with connotations that society has told us meant something great. So what do lost causes evolve into? The way I see it is, that humanity, mankind, is a lost cause. Society tells us what we should do; how we should behave; what is normal; what is okay to feel; what is okay to see; and so on and so on. But, in retrospect, we’ve never been of good nature. We’ve been greedy, selfish, destructive, violent, etc. throughout our existence; so what’s to say we aren’t going to get any worse? We sure as shit haven’t gotten better. We haven’t cured famine, we haven’t rid the world of abuse, terror, pain. In fact, more than often, we inflict these things on each other. With the minor exceptions of the martyrs of the world (Mother Teresa and whatever other individuals society felt necessary to teach us), we haven’t done a lot to be proud of. This leads to my theory: Mankind’s evolution, at some point, will have to be resembling a zombie. Eventually all great species of its time comes to a halt. Plants, dinosaurs, animals, and humans. Mankind has/will be a lost cause as long as it exists. As we continue to evolve, we will just become more and more twisted. I feel that a zombie is a metaphor of this. Maybe we won’t physically turn into this, but we will more than likely become “zombie-like” emotionally and mentally. Our species cannot always remain number one. Evolution doesn’t work that way. Because everyone has an opposing disposition, we will die for our arrogance. We are our own destruction.

My point is, society isn't a 'lost cause' in my opinion -- we're always gonna change and things are always going to be different. It's some people's opinion that it should be this way, or some people's opinions that it will be that.
