there's a theory that humans are the only truly evil species. they're the only ones conscientious enough to tell right from wrong, yet they still, so often, choose the latter. it's almost the perfect excuse to act like an apex species, convincing yourself that every other one is too lowly to know what they're wrong about.
but how would we ever know if other animals aren't the same way? it's not like we can ask. if we could ask, would anyone bother to? or would they want to continue priding themselves on the hairtie they loaned a stranger last week?
my phone's been slow lately. maybe that's a higher being telling me to go off the grid. maybe i don't know what i'm wrong about either. more importantly, maybe i never want to. i'll be less evil that way.
