The world now at large is quite a havoc if you were to ask me for my views of it. Nature destroyed; Mankind slaughtering each other; Poverty; Viruses and the list goes on and on. To me, the world is like having some kind of war. We have indulged ourselves into a era where we have conqured the rest of the animal kingdom, and where bigger opponents like nature and tiny opponents like microorganisms have joined arms to test the vulnerability of mankind. This is due to what is deemed by homosapiens as "intellegence".

However, it seems that we have not learnt our lesson but still continue to go against nature to find new ways to conquer them. I myself don't think that we are the greatest of all organisms that are sharing this world. Cockroaches are in fact the toughest thing I have ever seen. How long have they survived? They are found so many million years ago and yet they are still extant. Do we humans have the capability to survive as long as them? Instead of changing their environment, they adapt to it, do little harm to it as compared to us. What did we do? We urbanized the place, adapted the place so that it is "fit for living" and try to appear urbane.

In times of survival, our primative side soon reveal itself. It is not an unproven fact though. The Haiti earthquake opened a window to us, revealed to us that however much we think we have change is totally irrelavent when it comes to our own survival. So does that mean that we are back to square one despite all those technological advancement so on and so forth? Maybe not.

It is true that we have developed into a creature that can think, share and express their views with the means of communication through body language, speech, expressions. So what do all those mean? They mean to me a more sedentary lifestyle, degration of natural survival instincts like the ability to feel that an earthquake is coming; sharp hearing and good eyesight; stamina... This might just be the cost we have paid for the kind of us we are now.

Is this change a good or a bad thing? I myself struggle to come up with a conclusion.
