Hi.
...and then there was this one too. And it (the subject)
doesn't mean
WHAT'S SO BAD about being human, either. It means -
WHY HUMANS SUCK.
Kinda neatly sums it all up.
What's Wrong with Being Human?
A Report on the State of Being Human in this Age
THE HUMAN BODY
Human bodies are a terrible heavy burden and are cumbersome
and yet
very fragile.
Human bodies require a lot of constant maintenance.
Humans are
burdened with needing to eat, sleep, eliminate wastes,
clean, and
constantly struggle daily to survive.
The female body is terribly distorted and thus extremely
uncomfortable
and awkward and burdensome, which also restricts movement
and
decreases strength and balance and stability. Females
suffer the
menstrual cycle and the accompanying hormonal fluctuations,
as well as
pregnancy and childbirth, and yet females somehow masochistically
like
being female.
When humans (or animals) are damaged or deformed, it
is permanent and
lifelong, and nothing can be done to restore them.
Human beings age and as they age, their bodies, minds,
and lives
decay.
The human brain and body are so limiting. Self-expression
and
intelligent communication are almost impossible.
Almost everything in this world causes pain or discomfort
or harm to
the human body.
There is a constant struggle against exhaustion. Every
movement has a
price.
Females are prone to being irrational, overly emotional,
silly, and
scatter-brained; while males are prone to being aggressive,
impersonal, insensitive, and defensive about their masculinity.
Both
are shallow in their own way. Neither gender wants
to admit to their
flaws and they are each hostile towards the other and
cannot
understand the other.
THE FALLEN WORLD
Everything in earthly creation is so prone to permanent
damage or
harm.
All of God's earthly creatures hurt, kill, and eat each
other.
Everything in the world requires constant maintenance
by human beings.
Everything in this world is a frustration and a struggle.
Everything in the earthly creation decays over time.
Everything is impossible to clean, and just constantly
becomes more
dirty again anyway.
Nothing is ever perfect, nothing is ever good enough,
nothing is ever
the way you want it to be.
HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY & SOCIETY
Humans are all in competition against each other.
Humans cannot understand each other and don't seek to.
Humans are in constant conflict and alienation with
each other.
Humans want always to be in control of everything.
Humans are very stubborn and careless about their safety.
Human beings are becoming more and more disorganized.
Humans are becoming more and more chaotic.
Humans need constant change because they can never reach
satisfaction
with anything.
Humans are becoming more and more scatter-brained and
absent-minded in
daily life.
Humans engage in meaningless babble conversations for
the sake of a
ritualistic fake courtesy.
It's very hard for humans to believe and understand
spiritual things
they can't see.
Humans don't believe anything unless they have experienced
it or
witnessed it.
Human intelligence is very low and they are not capable
of
understanding much.
Human beings are like helpless children, lost and confused,
without
guidance.
Humans need an authority to give them rules and tell
them what to
think and do.
Humans have a deliberate apathy, indifference, sloppiness,
laziness,
stupidity, and carelessness and it is increasing over
time.
Humans don't care much about truth or accuracy. They
learn a little
about a lot and know nothing.
Humans are irrationally emotional and prone to hysteria.
They prefer
feelings over facts.
Though they are taught knowledge, humans don't seem
to grow or become
wiser from it. They don't apply it and it doesn't impact
them
significantly.
When humans observe suffering, they become self-absorbed,
judgmental,
insensitive, and hardened. When they experience it
themselves, they
become selfless, wise, sensitive, and compassionate.
Wisdom and maturity are gained more by internal, unusual,
unseen
suffering than by external, common, obvious suffering.
Human immaturity is mostly caused by inexperience with
suffering and
ignorance about suffering.
Humans only care about what is of personal interest
to them and the
rest they disregard.
Humans have become zombies in this age, in a permanent
state of
mindlessness.
Humans in this age suffer from a constant burnout and
overstimulation
fatigue, yet to try to counteract it, they keep stimulating
themselves
more and more.
Society is on the verge of collapsing due to the modern
human way of
life that they call "progress" in which they
create an unnatural
environment and way of life.
Humans are arrogant in their opinions and ignorance,
always believing
they have the authority and knowledge and wisdom to
judge and refusing
to believe they are wrong.
Humans are egocentric - each one thinks he is the center
of existence.
Humans are always focused on themselves and think that
God is only
concerned about them.
They are always making assumptions instead of seeking
the truth or
admitting that they don't have access to that information.
They base their beliefs on their own personal experiences
and judge
everything, including other people according to them.
They think in extremes, in black and white terms, and
they assume
everyone is the same and can be categorized and labeled.
Humans don't even seem to notice their own apathy and
rude behavior or
the miserable state of their world.
Humans are very arrogant about being human despite the
fact that they
are the lowest of God's peoples. They think they are
the greatest
creation and that God only cares about them and that
everything He
does revolves around them. They absurdly cannot see
that they are
animals and many believe that lower animals don't have
souls. They
believe that angels were made to take care of them and
adore them, and
that everything was made just for them, and that they
will eventually
be higher than angels in status. They also seem to
believe that what
angels do in the angelic realm is meaningless and they
won't receive
any rewards.
Humans seem to be getting better at things requiring
speed, endurance,
and strength, but worse at things requiring precision,
organization,
concentration, and intelligence.
Intelligence for humans has become a matter of memory,
studying, and
learning facts and figures, instead of real intelligence
which is
perceptiveness, sensitivity, mindfulness, being acutely
aware, having
understanding and motivation to understand, discernment,
wisdom,
analysis, and depth of thought.
This generation is a distrustful, cynical generation,
unbelieving in
their futile thinking. Christians can't even understand
the Bible or
the Holy Spirit's wisdom.
So many humans try to deceive others or spread their
own deceived
state that as a result, humans can't see who to believe
and so believe
no one except certain authority figures they have put
their trust in,
such as church leaders and other people with such status.
Humans seem to be uncoordinated with each other and
they always clash
with each other and get in each other's way.
Though they have a freewill, humans always seem to be
controlled by
their animal instincts and emotions, such as procreation.
Humans almost always depict angels as delicate women
or babies, which
is unbiblical and very offensive to angels. Angels
are powerful,
strong, mighty, righteous warriors for the Lord, serious
and wise and
intelligent servants and messengers for the Almighty.
They are not
cute or feminine or childlike in any way, or in any
other way silly
and frivolous and fairy-like.
Humans base their opinions on the ideas or assumptions
church leaders
or other authorities have, even when it's not in the
Bible, and do not
seek true wisdom from the Holy Spirit and mindful reasoning.
They
become indoctrinated and brainwashed into believing
all manner of
extra-biblical ideology in churches.
Humans are conformists like sheep and irrational.
Humans become easily distracted and confused.
Humans are quick to criticize, punish, and devalue,
and slow to
encourage, reward, and esteem.
Humans are reckless and irresponsible. They seek quick
fixes and
don't think ahead about long-term consequences. It's
a miracle humans
survive each day.
It is the person who causes harm that has all the rights,
and the
person who is harmed has none to protect himself from
being harmed.
Humans believe that to limit the one causing the harm
would be
infringing on his rights concerning what he is allowed
to do.
Human emotions change one's state of mind, which is
very disturbing,
because it is like being different people with different
thoughts and
a different outlook at different times, depending on
these volatile
emotions.
They think stimulants make them function better when
really it causes
them to be distracted, careless, sloppy, mindless, burnt-out,
and
lacking in attention, and increases their stupidity,
and then it is
very difficult to deal with them intelligently.
Instead of dividing up jobs according to abilities and
giving jobs to
those most suited for each one, humans, like a disorganized
mob, all
want to do the same thing, and all want to do what other
people are
doing, creating havoc and a degraded quality of society.
Example:
Everyone wants to procreate instead of the people best
suited to have
and raise children.
Humans seek quantity of life on this Earth rather than
quality and
they don't seem to have much interest in leaving this
terrible place
and going home.
Humans don't seem to be capable of much real love and
devotion and
thus they are not very capable of having lasting, meaningful
relationships.
Humans are selfish and ungrateful and unappreciative.
They take
everything they have for granted and they have only
a very limited
ability to care about and empathize with others. They
are quick to
abandon loved ones when their limitations are surpassed.
Humans have a very bleak, shallow view of relationships,
thinking of
them as temporary and replaceable, casual interactions.
Humans are untrustworthy, changeable, unreliable, undependable,
and
disloyal.
The identities of humans keep changing throughout their
lives and
stages of growth. Do they even have any constant true
self?
Humans seem determined to pair off for no reason, yet
their marriages
are meaningless and shallow, and their spouses are seemingly
randomly
chosen and practically interchangeable. They are like
strangers
living together, yet in different worlds. And because
humans are
always changing, spouses grow apart.
It's lonely being human. It's more lonely being an
angelic being
trapped in the human world. What Jesus Christ who is
God had to
endure being human is unimaginable.
When humans can't handle reality, they deny it, and
can no longer even
see it. They call this a "coping mechanism".
We call this "crazy".
They think that is normal and even healthy and they
think that sanity
is crazy.
The worst thing about being human, besides sinning against
God, is
never being able to really completely understand another
human being
and his perspective and experience.
THE GOOD NEWS
Human Beings are created in the image of Jesus Christ
and God loves
His children so much He sent His son Jesus to live and
die as a human
so that His children can live with Him in perfection
forever. And He
sent His Holy Spirit to guide and comfort His children.
And remember, in addition to being God, Jesus is also
human!
Therefore blessed are the humans who are saved through
Him and belong
to Him!
PRAISE GOD!
As miserable as it has been, we are so thankful for
the opportunity to
experience being human, most of all so we can have the
relationship
with Jesus Christ, the Son of God, as Savior the way
humans do. And
now, despite our anger with humans, we have more empathy
with them
than ever. We were sent by God to do this, but we also
chose to do it
out of our own freewill because of our love for human
beings. It is
worth it.
