[quote:Anonymous Coward 22851694:MV8xOTgzNTA0XzMzNjA2NzIzXzlGQkM5QkYy] A cancer?? Pfft. Someone has an overly high estimation of the importance of the human race. You can not even come close to comparing us to cancer. Cancer eats away the human body, it devours and destroys. We would never be so powerful or plentiful. The fact is we are more like eczema. We are just a topical, irritating rash. All life on the planet is, and all life on the planet does what id does best, it spreads, it thrives, it flourishes, and it consumes. We are no different. It is nice to see that we have evolved to a point where we realize we can consume less and still thrive, and we are slowly headed in that direction. But even if we didnt. Even if we get worse, the earth is just fine, and after a few hundred years of no humans the planet is capable of completely recovering as if we had never been here at all. Because we can not impact it enough that it can never recover, unless we make a conscious effort to do so. Nothing we do is permanent, irreperable, or irreversable, except to ourselves. The earth will be fine. we wont. we are not cancer to the earth, some of us are cancer to ourselves. [/quote]

My reply to the thread "Are you afraid of DEATH?
"""Not afraid, patiently waiting.
That may sound dark, but it's because society tries to fight death.
For the most part, it has been successful.
7 billion. 7 billion animals ravaging their host like parasites.
We feel more important than what has created us. Earth is what fuels our growth, and we are killing it with the amount of energy our species depletes.
The decisions of mankind are collective. We all come from the same building blocks, so we are forever one
For better understanding, we try so hard to fight cancer within ourselves. We "race for the cure" when there is no cure to a mutation, only treatments. WE are a cancer. We are a mutation and our unending growth is killing our host.
When you realize this, you become saddened by the way of the future, as it isn't going to stop anytime soon.
So earth decides. Through us.
This is why we long for doom.
This year is EXTREMELY important."""
