The Human Paradox

Human beings are all of one species. They share similar wants and needs. Among these, human beings desire life, fairness, and to pursue happiness. At the same time, human beings are often short-sighted and make disastrous choices that set them (and future generations) up for failure, suffering, and even death—very unfair and unhappy futures. Human beings, despite being social animals, are often selfish and greedy. Human beings, despite being biological (living) beings who should be seeking ways to assure their survival, are often self-destructive.
