Origin of evil. It's gotta be self-centeredness, I think. Community minded thinking thinks of the well-being of the whole, not the one, and what is better for the whole is better. So where does self-centeredness come from?

I'm tired. I don't know. A glitch in the human brain, maybe, but one that allowed the self-centered people to be successful. Top of the food chain. What'll it take for the community-minded folks to rise up en masse? Take down the 1 percenters? It's hard. Thousands upon thousands die as the ruling class lives seemingly untouchable. I see why people are too scared to even try.

But what'll it all come to? The destruction of the planet? Or just the destruction of the human race? And then will those seemingly untouchable humans, the super wealthy, stay protected enough to procreate and make more humans who are that way? Will we just go on destroying planets after Earth? It can't be that way. It can't. I'm tired. I have to have hope. I want to get those comics about Mother Nature devouring the 1 percent. Where can I get those comics? When will the timer ding? I'm tired. I need to go to bed. I wonder if the time is on silent, for some reason. I don't think so. Ah, there it goes.
