THE DAY I WATCHED THIS MOVE (2009)

Just finished watching The Day The Earth Stood Still (2009).  Of course capital punishment is wrong.  I like how the kid in the film represents those death penalty supporters who are more apt to think and take action on emotion than reason and logic.  Emotions cloud logic and proper & just judgement.  While i hope the whole human race perishes very soon, the death penalty is wrong!  

I disagree with the film that humans can change, however.  It is in human nature the capacity to be evil, to be power hungry and greedy, to have a need of superiority.  It is within human nature to band together in similarity, which therefore means that you are distinguishing others as different.  You revel in your similarities, which are arbitrary, fools!  There are many names for this, here are a few: nationalism, nativism, rascism, apartheid, Repblicans, Democrats, Tories, Labor, Protestants, Catholics, Sunni, Shia....*  If we ever learn to not hate, we cease to being human.  Good ceases to exist without evil.  (*No, not every aspect of some of these groups is bad or evil)  Humanity is doomed to always embrace evil.

My message is: keep as much love in your heart as possible.  Treat others as you wish to be treated (yes, as an atheist, i know the irony of that statement, see *above).  Keep YOUR community safe, sane, loving and caring.  Explain logic to others, but know that you can rarely force change; it'll come when the individual is ready. Do not close yourself or your community out from the world at large.  Emanate love and peace and you might just get some new community members.  Shit's gonna happen, just be strong, you can get through this horrible wo/man made world with the support of those who love you.

Wow, so that was uncharacteristically optimistic of me!

What the fuck is wrong with me?!!
