Humanity keeps surviving (#1608)

Despite the best efforts of some who are human, humanity keeps surviving. That old saying of, "It is always darkest before the dawn", has thus far been absolutely true when it comes to our species. It is not just existence around us that has been a detriment at times to our survival but it is also many threats from inside humanity as well. These are the threats that concern me most since they are the ones that our species actually can control. Dangers from outside our species are mostly out of our control and we must rely on our wits and savvy to overcome them. Same holds true for threats from our own species to ourselves. We create destructive combinations that if turned against us would annihilate us in an instant. We also savage our species with impediments that actually turn ourselves against ourselves. We seem to think that a punishing solution to our problems carries as much if not more desirable intent within us to enact. I will not ever for the life of me accept that causing harm to ourselves is any solution to problems that have much easier and effective results that do not cause harm as a rule. I am always buoyed by the fact of humanity's greatest traits of compassion and curiosity in creating an atmosphere of hope that supersedes the worst of our natures when unchecked. Even when we do harm to ourselves in the form of conscious and policy, we are always able to muster the strength to defend and fight against whatever tolerance of purposeful harm has been manipulatively manufactured to test our survivability.
