This is a question that looms beyond the understanding of human beings even till date.
It seems very possible to me that civilization may be the result of an accident that has led to so many things which have again led to such high expectations. In fact, humans are just an animal species led by urges and instincts of survival, supremacry and reproduction, that we conceal with civilized language.
For instance, human civilization has indedd been genius enough to construct massive architctural masterpieces formed from science and mathematics. But, have all these creations benefited the human species in the long run?
Decades were terrorized by war, countries face overpopulation, humans are so numerous in number and expanding that we have already destroyed much of the world's ecosystems. We have driven multiple animal and plant species to extinction, and our political systems have consistently failed to deliver their fantastical promises of a better world. Instead they have commonly delivered corruption and war.
It is in our innate nature, that which we have inherited from our ancesters. If there are two bananas, we want one in each hand. That's called greed. If our neighbour has one and we take it, that's called theft. If we throw a fellow off a tree and he dies, that's murder.
I'm neither a superstetious bor a blasphemous person yet i believe like an occult that we shall live to see a day of damnation when Evil will rule the earth, and when there'll be no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth. (Dawn of the Dead referrence) We indulge in illicit relationships, kill babies even before they ate born, cause mass ganocide and holocaust and we ourselves may call upon our own apocalypse.
We have actually progressed very little since we climbed out of the trees. Its true that we have excelled in the fields of innovations but in the end, we could quite easily go back to being like our pre-historic tree dwelling folks.
Based on all these matters I'm quite literally asking whether the human civilization is worth the costs and would humans be better off being at the same level with other animal apecies before civilization arose?
