I’m from a dangerous species

1475: 

Humans might think they’re free of fear but fear is our main driver.  We fear losing our freedom, so to prevent this loss we acquire enough power to feel safer.  We build up stocks of money and exploit resources, including animals.  We’re good at being guardians, but even better at finding security-in-life by raising money and having good stocks of food we like to eat.  And if we have to compromise ethics to gain more feelings of safety, we will.  We don’t care if we damage the environment or hurt the feelings of an animal, just so long as it makes me feel happier or safer.  In my quest for security I can adopt a coldness of heart.  I’m from a dangerous species.
