Animal Spotlight: Homo Sapiens Sapiens

Welcome to the very last Animal Spotlight blog. I wanna talk for a little bit about an animal known as the homo sapiens sapiens. I know what you are thinking. Isn't that a human being? Not really, and the reason I am writing this blog is to explain the difference. I'll give you a different perspective than what Wikipedia will tell you.

Homo sapiens sapiens is a creature that looks very much like a human being. They can talk. They can drive cars. They can do pretty much anything you can do. The difference really has nothing to do with abilities as much as what they are willing to do.

This creature spends it's entire existence trying very hard to get what it wants. What does the homo sapiens sapiens want? To go to any length at all to do as little as possible. This animal loves to sit. They likes to eat too as if it was the most wonderful thing in the world. There is no real desire to create or bring anything into the world.

Homo sapiens sapiens are incredibly cynical to the point that it has become a natural way of thinking. They believe that they are the only ones who matter and anyone who gets in their way is expendable. They are incredibly selfish, but really, all animals are.

This creature tends to get very fat when placed in an environment with much food. They eat and eat and then complain that it is so hard to walk when they are so fat. In fact, they spend a lot of time complaining about their problems. They will even fight for their right to complain about how bad their lives really are.

Homo sapiens sapiens are very absorbent. Not necessarily fluids but for information. They will soak in massive amounts of trivia and consider themselves great for knowing so many things. All of this occurs while not really doing anything of importance in their lives.

Lastly, homo sapiens sapiens hates human beings... with a passion. And the real way to explain why is to give you some insights into the thing that they hate. You see, the reason homo sapiens sapiens are not humans is because they refuse to break out of the animal category. They only do what their instincts tell them to do and never try to do anything greater than the sum of their parts. Real human beings always strive for more. They break the rules. In fact, rules mean very little to them. This gumption is what is making the homo sapiens sapiens jealous.

Human beings are not animals. They never were. They break the rules of what makes animals animals. In fiction, both cases have been presented well enough but never really named in the way that I have done in this blog. In my own fictional story collection "Wild," I said that there is no problem within the animal kingdom that cannot be solved with simple murder. Homo sapiens sapiens believes in this too, but they will only commit murder if they think they can get away with it. Animals have a similar belief. Human beings believe that it is best to uplift others who are striving for better things and likewise make the world a better place to live. Human beings do not act anything like animals.

You have a choice. You can be an animal and live like one. Many people have chosen this path. They even pride themselves in calling themselves animals. They like being monkeys. It allows them to not pay as much attention to their heart. They can be selfish with no consequences. You can also choose to be a human being. You can strive for greater things. You can pour your soul into a personal passion and give back to this world.

There is no need to be a great politician or king if you want to change the world. All you have to do is have love and use your talents to their fullest. Never stop trying. Never stop adding to the world.

“Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love." ~J.R.R. Tolkien
