Unnaturally Human

To a vast number of people, whenever they encounter something they do not like or do not understand they call it unnatural. It is the most redundant thing to say that anything human is unnatural. Think about it, if we were “natural” we would not wear clothes, live in houses, drive cars, elect officials, farm, mine, use computer, etc.; indeed, we would not be doing anything that we do everyday. These are just the most mundane things that we do. What distinguishes us from other living creatures are what made us human and thus “unnatural.” So, to call someone unnatural should be a compliment because it is the same as saying that someone is purely human. Natural are things that we instinctively want to do: to kill someone that offended us and eliminate races that are in competition with us, for example. Nature has no compassion, no empathy, no love, no justice, just survival and competition. When we transcended nature, we became human. If we want to eliminate the unnatural, we must first commit suicide. And since I like being human, I will keep on living and say, “thank you, I am unnatural.”
